OK, if the Channel isn’t even there I can say it’s not a universal problem. All of my Things which should have Action Channels do.

It wouldn’t be a parameter. It would be a separate Channel. I assume you mean you checked “Show Advanced” on the Channels tab here?
Note, because these Channels cannot be linked to an Item without the profile, those links that already exist will show as orphans. That does not necessarily mean the Channel doesn’t exist.
