    Trigger String : xmpp_command [ separator="##" ]
}

Bridge xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp "XMPP Client" [ host="xmpp.example.com", port=7222, username="openhab", domain="example.com", password="********" ] {

Example Rules

Send message:

rule "Leak detected"
when
    Item Xi_Leak changed
then
    if(Xi_Leak.state == ON) {
        val actions = getActions("xmpp","xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp")
        actions.publishXMPP("pavel@example.com","Warning! Leak detected!")
    }
end

Receive and process message:

rule "Turn off all lights without separator"
when
    Channel "xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp:xmpp_command" triggered
then
    var actionName = receivedEvent.getEvent()
    if(actionName.toLowerCase() == "turn off lights") {
        Group_Light_Home_All.sendCommand(OFF)
    }
end

rule "Turn off all lights with separator and reply"
when
    Channel "xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp:xmpp_command" triggered
then
    var actionName = receivedEvent.getEvent().split("##")
    if(actionName.get(1).toLowerCase() == "turn off lights") {
        Group_Light_Home_All.sendCommand(OFF)

        val actions = getActions("xmpp","xmppclient:xmppBridge:xmpp")
        actions.publishXMPP(actionName.get(0),"All lights was turned off")
    }
end
