If I could do that, on a per-Thing-basis, so I can have all my hue-things in one jsondb, all tahoma-things in another, and so on (or whatever logical grouping I might have need of), the this would be fine.
If the items and rules would follow that distinction with storage contexts, it would be even better.
The service definition files (e.g. “influxdb.cfg” and so on) already are in other files, right?
