great to see thing are getting resolved.
keep in mind that the channelid in you xml need to match the channelID in the thing type definition.
i see that the current thing type definition only has 5 channel groups activated
<channel-group id="version" typeId="channelGroupTypeVersion" />
<channel-group id="time" typeId="channelGroupTypeTime" />
<channel-group id="currentValues" typeId="channelGroupTypeCurrentValues" />
<channel-group id="operationCounters" typeId="channelGroupTypeOperationCounters" />
<channel-group id="nominalValues" typeId="channelGroupTypeNominalValues" />
if you like to activate more we need to add the other channelgroups.
