Can not create default items/sitemaps

Setup, Configuration and Use Items & Sitemaps
1

Hello,
i am new in this community. I’m trying to install OH2 on my Pi3. But on the Tutorial Point to create the Items and sitemaps it is always
pi@raspberrypi:/var/lib/openhab2 $ conf/sitemaps/default.sitemap
bash: conf/sitemaps/default.sitemap: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
Is it the wrong Folder or what is my problem?
THX for help.

welcome ! :slight_smile:

That part of the documentation is not very clear…

To create a new file in linux, use a text editor (like vi)
change to the configuration directory and then start editing a new file:

cd /etc/openhab2/sitemaps/
vi default.sitemap

after you enter your sitemap configuration, type :wq to save the file and exit the editor.

Ps: If vi is not installed, use: apt-get install vim

You will have to set the default sitemap name in the openHAB configuration.

Navigate to: PaperUI -> Configuration -> Services -> UI -> Basic UI -> Configure -> Default Sitemap and set there the name

I set the name default in the OH config and the Filename is default.sitemap my first mistake was the ending .sitemaps. I changed it into .sitemap
But it doesn’t work. No Sitemap

Syntax in the File:
Sitemap default label=“First sitemap”
{
Switch item=Presence_Mobile_Ulf label="Z3-Ulf"
Switch item=Wallplug_Fensterlicht label=“Fensterlicht”
}

edit: use small letters for the sitemap

sitemap default label="First sitemap" {
	Switch item=Presence_Mobile_Ulf label="Z3-Ulf"
	Switch item=Wallplug_Fensterlicht label="Fensterlicht"
}
