To invoke the action see the examples below:

Add an item to your items file such as a switch:

Switch PollCommand "Send a poll command to the DSC Alarm System"

The following rule will trigger whenever the switch is turned ON:

rule "PollCommand"
    when
        Item PollCommand received command ON
    then
        sendDSCAlarmCommand("000")
end

Again add an item to your items file:

Switch BypassZone1 "Bypass Zone 1"

This rule triggers when the switch is turned ON:

rule "BypassZone1"
    when
        Item BypassZone1 received command ON
    then
        sendDSCAlarmCommand("071","*101#")
