Here’s a typical newbee question, probably put forward here a hundred times, I just can’t find them.
My question is this: while playing around with OpenHab2 a little, after successfully installing it on my rPi and installing the Designer on my Ubuntu desktop, I found out that one can add and configure Things inside .thing files but also after automatic discovery. The only thing is, I don’t see the discovered (and accepted) Things in any .thing file. Is there no connection between these 2 worlds, or am I just missing it?
I’m a beginner with OH2 as well so bare with me if I’m wrong 
There is two ways to add Things, through automatic discovery and .things files. Both ways the things ends up in the JsonDB. I chose the .things file way, it makes it easier for me to back them up and start over and I’m a text files guy rather than clicking in a UI.
That might explain things that I observe. But it also means that it i can not manually change the configuration using the Designer when Things were automatically detected. And it also means that these Things are not known to the Eclipse environment for auto-complete functions and the like…
