Hi folks,

I have a short question regarding the manuall definition of things via configuration text files. Is it possible to define thing properties when text files are used?

Regards

It depends. What Things/which binding?

Its for the lights in the deCONZ binding, but I was hoping for a general solution.

You should be able to. Check examples in this forum. You can also ‘reverse engineer’ the YAML generated by a UI-configured Thing and manually convert it into Things-file syntax.

That’s the point, I did not find anything in the documentation how you can define additional properties with the syntax for .things files.

6

There seem to be full examples in the binding page. Is that not what you’re after? What are the ‘additional properties’ that you want to define?

7

This does not contain additional properties which are displayed in the section Information → Thing Properties.

Maybe we’re not looking at the same page: I don’t see an Information > Thing Properties section on the page I linked.
