Clarification of how to configure OH2 with txt files?

Hello @sam, I’ll make it short but can answer on follow up questions later in more detail.

  1. That’s correct. If you do want to configure your system with config files only, abandon the PaperUI
  2. A lot of details stayed the same, almost everything that changed can be found in the bindings documentation e.g. http://docs.openhab.org/addons/bindings/astro/readme.html#full-example
  3. As you realized yourself, there is still some work to do…
  4. Things are only needed if the docs binding readme tells you to. Service configuration files will be automatically created when needed. There are a few not yet updated services (like the xbmc binding I think to remember) where you need to create the file yourself, containing the content previously included in openhab.cfg, without the prefix (“xbmc.”).

Here’s something I wrote a few weeks back for a friend and was planing to post to the forum, never got around finishing it though…
