Model definition: semantic class, semantic property

[mti-sk]

In some cases, the basic selection of semantic class and semantic property is insufficient.
I have central heating, a horn/siren, a thermostatic valve, an air quality monitor, a gas leak sensor. I am not able to integrate these things into the existing semantic class and semantic property. I would like more configuration options.

In some cases, the basic selection of semantic class and semantic property is insufficient.
I have central heating, horn/siren, thermostatic valve, air quality monitor, gas leak sensor, infrared controller. I am not able to integrate these things into the existing semantic class and semantic property. I would like to request more configuration options.
I would suggest that these semantic class and semantic property can be freely configured (add new ones). So that it is not fixedly defined in the code.
I understand that this may be a fundamental change in the concept and as such can be very demanding.
At a minimum, I would like to request the creation or addition of new semantic classes and semantic properties, namely: other!
(a little different from none)
And maybe another: heating, notification, air (unifying class for CO, CO2, air quality)

I think this feature was never documented. I couldn't find it.

Please close this issue and open a new issue on the openhab-docs repo to add documentation for how to add custom tags to the model.

To add a new tag create a .yml file in $OH_CONF/tags.

Here's an example:
