Hello,

Please use code fences when posting, please…

How to use code fences

We all have to type this content over and over and over. Here is a posting we can all point to when the topic comes up. Why use code fences? Because rules, sitemap, logs, and configs are all but unreadable when code fences are not used. When to use code fences? Whenever one is posting any sort of code, config, log, and any text where line wrapping, indentation, and using an equal spaced font makes the text more legible. How to use code fences? Use 3 backticks (```)... Or use <code>... …

Try:

rule “Test”
when
    Item amx received update "testString"
then
    amx.sendCommand(“String received!”)
end

Note that I have used the item method amx.sendCommand instead of the action sendCommand(String, String). It is recommended to use the method when you know what item to send a command to. Use the action only for some reserved cases like:
