Basic UI - get location from thing

The model has been there for a long time. It’s just OH 3 now has the UI to do it instead of needing to do it all manually through Group membership, Item tags, and Item metadata. See HABot Walkthrough (2/n): Semantic Tagging & Item Resolving.

At the end of the day, you can go through a whole lot of extra work and effort, or you can just given your Items a meaningful name and even if you don’t do a full semantic model you can use Groups to represent rooms. That will be a whole lot less work and really that’s how you should use Items anyway.

BasicUI can only show Items. So anything you want to show on it has to be an Item.
