Once I master how it works I’ll make a fire & forget script. Then it will be easy. Anyway, it’s much more about OpenHAB than Velsbus… Thanks for the comment!

I’ve been editing a Text based Items Template file for the last few years, slowly adding the changes and updates as openHAB evolves.
In order to make this useful for others, I have created a Gist on GitHub
#{Velbus} [openHAB] Text Items README.md
Text files for adding www.velbus.eu modules and channels to www.openhab.org instances
While the MainUI is the prefered way of adding Things and Items, I have found that for Bulk editing, Text based Items files are the fastest to create, debug and update.
I method of adding Things to openHAB is always in the MainUI, as updates in the Binding can be easily accommodated by deleting the Thing, and adding it again so that it uses the new profile (Bug are corrected and new features added)
Bulk editing the Items files is easy with a find and replace.
simply replace the `velbus:vmbgpod:VelbusNetworkBridge:05` parts with the correct ID for the Thing
