Migrate things to OH3

Is there a way to re-use existing groups for that by tagging them?

Yes - see this post:

OH3 Best Practice for things and items - files or UI

I absolutely agree with @Spaceman_Spiff, and that’s what I’m doing. This might be daunting for a newbie - the documentation has barely a single paragraph on Tags whilst the tutorial is all UI based. I find the following forum post most helpful, with the updated github link below that for a reference on available Locations, Equipment, Points and Properties.

You won’t be able to tag Group Items within the UI if they were created in an Items file, though. You have to do it in the file itself, as per the above.

If not, I assume there’s no downside of just moving everything over including my groups. Then assigning them to the model which creates new groups.

Don’t think there is a downside, just personal preference! Either should work!
