How to use an emty Item

Setup, Configuration and Use Runtime
1

Currently iam porting my OH1 to OH2. I got every item working beside the emty ones.

/*Presents */
Switch Presents_gCZ_Name1 “Anwesenheit Name1” (gCZ, Status)
Switch Presents_gSZ_Name2 "Anwesenheit Name2 " (gSZ, Status)

Switch Presents_gCZ_Name1_Heating “Anwesenheit Name1 Heizung” (gCZ, Status)
Switch Presents_gSZ_Name2 _Heating “Anwesenheit Name2 Heizung” (gSZ, Status)

those switches should triggert with Ifttt but they are not displayed in iffft.
I see realy every item form my .items file there and from the Paper.ui only these 4 emty ones (with no binding behind it) do not appere.

With ifttt i want to use the location feature of their service to trigger an openhab event…

I think my.openhab.org does not see items that have not changed state, depending on your myopenhab.persist configuration. If you manually toggle these switches via a UI, this should propagate changes picked up by my.openhab.org, and then these items should be visible in IFTTT afterwards.
