Missing Switch channel for Hue on Openhab2

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

I got openhab2 setup and starting on a raspberry pi b+.
Pairing with the hue bridge worked like a charm, all lamps are discovered and I can controll them.
The only thing I can’t figure out is how to get the switch channel to appear.
In the PaperUI I was able to activate the following channels:
Color
Coler Temperature
Alert
Color Loop

But I can’t figure out how to get the Switch-channel that is mentioned in the docs.

The color channel is the switch:

Switch Light1_Toggle { channel="hue:0210:2E7A2D:bulb1:color" }

Thanks!
I added this to items/demo.items and it’S working.
Feels weird that this is the one thing I can’t configure from the PaperUI.

Why not? Just link the item to the color channel … It’s the same as using my above text based example.
