KNX - Thing definition with multiple files and missing syntax information

I try to work with several files for my KNX defenitions and find out that i did not find the right syntax in the help documentation and in here.

I have created two KNX bridges, a router and a tunnel

For the ip adres when using Router you have to look at the multicast settings in your knx/ip device
the default KNX mulicast ip adres = 224.0.23.12

This can be different when working with different buildings/knx installations

knx_router.things :

Bridge knx:ip:router01 "KNX router" @ "Bridge"
[
    ipAddress="224.0.23.12",
    portNumber=3671,
    localIp="192.168.3.162",
    type="ROUTER",
    readingPause=50,
    responseTimeout=10, 
    readRetriesLimit=3, 
    autoReconnectPeriod=1,
    localSourceAddr="0.0.0"
]

knx_1_1_6_tunnel.things :

Bridge knx:ip:tunnel01 "KNX tunnel" @ "Bridge"
[
    ipAddress="192.168.3.157",
    portNumber=3671,
    localIp="192.168.3.162",
    type="TUNNEL",
    readingPause=50,
    responseTimeout=10, 
    readRetriesLimit=3, 
    autoReconnectPeriod=1,
    localSourceAddr="1.0.0"
]

Then i had problems with the syntax of a knx device into a different *.things file

Below the syntax you can find on the documentation pages

Thing <binding_id>:<type_id>:<thing_id> "Label" @ "Location" [ <parameters> ]

Below the syntax that works
knx_1_1_7.things :

    Thing knx:device:knx0101007 "KNX_01_01_007" (knx:ip:tunnel01)  @ "KNX"
    [
        address="1.1.7",
        fetch=false,
        pingInterval=300,
        readInterval=3600
    ]
    {
        Type string : HuidigeToestand1 "Message" [ga="1/0/50"]
        Type string : HuidigeToestand2 "Message" [ga="1/0/51"]
        Type string : HuidigeToestand3 "Message" [ga="1/0/52"]
        Type string : HuidigeToestand4 "Message" [ga="1/0/53"]
        Type number : BuitenTemperatuur "Temperatuur" [ga="1/0/1"]
    }

knx_1_1_7.items :

String HuidigeToestand1 "Bericht 1 [%s]" {channel="knx:device:knx0101007:HuidigeToestand1"}
String HuidigeToestand2 "Bericht 2 [%s]" {channel="knx:device:knx0101007:HuidigeToestand2"}
String HuidigeToestand3 "Bericht 3 [%s]" {channel="knx:device:knx0101007:HuidigeToestand3"}
String HuidigeToestand4 "Bericht 4 [%s]" {channel="knx:device:knx0101007:HuidigeToestand4"}
Number BuitenTemperatuur "Buiten temperatuur [%.1f °C]" {channel="knx:device:knx0101007:BuitenTemperatuur"}
