You can’t just call methods on an Item Object when all you have is that Item’s name. See Design Pattern: Associated Items for three ways to do this. In this case the best is probably to just use the sendCommand Action.

It’s also way easier to just use String operations to strip off the “_stop”.

val itemName = triggerinItem.name.replace("_stop", "")
sendCommand(itemName, "STOP")
