You need to add the items (manually) to your sitemap file. See https://www.openhab.org/docs/configuration/sitemaps.html

can i can new device but i can’t adding it to sitemap on rest api?

4

Not that I am aware of, you need to manually create this file. I can post an example if needed. How many items do you have?

5

3 items for now.
but the number is variable.

i 'm writing an app for controling openhub in remote only in rest (i can’t use openhab UI).

i need to adding discovered item in authorized list and see them in sensor list

i can do it with rest API?

thanks for help

You can’t use BasicUI, ClasicUI then why a sitemap?

7

I seemed to understand that the list of items is the sitemap.:thinking:

8

When you open a browser and enter http://your_servers_IP_address:8080/start/index what do you see?

9

i see openhub select interface (basic - ecc)

10

So you see BasicUI as a selection. This will be empty until you create the sitemap file and add your items.

12

Currently, the sitemap is a file, not accessible directly from the REST API for editing.

@luca-parlapiano also in PaperUI > Configuration > Addons > User Interfaces you will need to install BasicUi or whatever UI you prefer. BTW, BasicUI is a good starting point.:wink:

i can’t use UI only api rest.
All right nothing sitemap :slight_smile:

but thanks for help :blush:

Install the REST API docs add-on. The answer to all your questions are documented there.
