Thanks Mark, i have found the same in the meantime 
.
Thanks for explanation regarding NHC II benefits as well.
So there is no reason to move on right now at least.
Just one more question regarding your binding.
Is there a possibility to fulfill the item tags when auto-discovery of items happend in the binding?
I have some issues when trying to use the items in google home/assistant through openhab cloud connector. I’m using the PaperUI right now.
There are strict requirements to fill up the item tags to be visible for google assistant.
The Google assistant supports the following tags right now:
(Official Google Assistant Integration for openHAB)
[“Lighting”]
[“Switchable”]
[“CurrentTemperature”]
[“Thermostat”]
[“Blinds”]
I had to manually generate the .item file and put the required tags to do so.
It is not the best approach, especially when changing the configuration in NHC sometimes.
Thank for any hint regarding this.
