The binding is excellent and I already use it heavily to access items on remote openHAB servers. Then I noticed the option to access also remote things instead of items (which would be of great value for me). However when I add remote things I am always encountering authentication problems like this:

I would try an api token. Open the left sidebar and click on your user in the lower section. Then scroll down to api tokens
