Migration from OH 1.x to OH 2 Tutorial

OK, it’s late; I’ve just completed a first run through of this…many questions…

I’ve installed the following bindings:

Installed via paper UI, Config auto created
=================
org.openhab.binding.astro-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.binding.http-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.binding.mios-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.binding.modbus-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.binding.mqtt-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.binding.networkhealth-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.binding.weather-1.9.0.jar - Fails?
org.openhab.persistence.influxdb-1.9.0.jar
org.openhab.persistence.mapdb-1.9.0.jar

Installed via paper UI, manual config file
==============================
org.openhab.binding.milight-1.8.3.jar - Installed, manual config file
org.openhab.binding.ntp-1.8.3.jar - Installed, manual config file

Manual - copied over
====================
org.openhab.action.astro-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.binding.rfxcom-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.io.squeezeserver-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.action.squeezebox-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.binding.squeezebox-1.8.3.jar
org.openhab.io.transport.serial-1.8.3.jar
  1. Do these questions need a thread of their own?
    2a) Only the NTP binding has anything which appears as a Thing?
    2b) When I select the ‘+’ for a thing, I only get the option to add an NTP thing?
  2. The weather binding fails, however when I comment out the config lines, and restart, it still remembers the config?

Cheers
