OH3 Best Practice for things and items - files or UI

I absolutely agree with @Spaceman_Spiff, and that’s what I’m doing.

This might be daunting for a newbie - the documentation has barely a single paragraph on Tags whilst the tutorial is all UI based.

I find the following forum post most helpful, with the updated github link below that for a reference on available Locations, Equipment, Points and Properties.
