Question: Items file

[nawaidrana]

Hi,

Not really an issue, but wanted to ask if there is a way if items file can be automatically created. I was able to add things after I added the smartapp/devicehandler within openhab, but I have about 49 devices on smartthings hub, and creating items for each device seems difficult, especially I can easily make a mistake. Is there a tool or way to automatically create items for all my smartthings things?

Thank you so much.

If you use discovery to create the things it can also create the items. In the PaperUI look at Configuration > System it gives you options for how the items are created. This creates Things and Items that are stored in a file in openHAB and no item file created.

This is an area that I don't have much expertise with because I used files to create the things and items. You can find more on the openHAB website about using discovery.

Hope this helps.
