* "itemSerialNumber" - you can set item's serial number,
* "itemType" - you can have different type of switch item, number item, contact item, etc. Here you can define the type:
* use "TemperatureSensorItem" for Temperature Sensor,
* use "LightSensorItem" for Light Sensor,
* use "ThermostatItem" for Thermostat (experimental support),
* use "FanItem" for Fan,
* use "LightbulbItem" for Lightbulb,
* use "OutletItem" for Outlet,
* use "MotionSensorItem" for Motion Sensor.
* "skipItem" - set to true if you want avoid to load the item in Homekit catalog, default is false,
* "itemSubType" - use only with itemType=ThermostatItem, defines the type of openHAB item associated to ThermostatItem:
* use "CurrentTemperatureCItem" for openHAB item with current temperature value in Celsius,
* use "CurrentTemperatureFItem" for openHAB item with current temperature value in Fahrenheit,
* use "TargetTemperatureCItem" for openHAB item with target temperature value in Celsius,
* use "TargetTemperatureFItem" for openHAB item with target temperature value in Fahrenheit,
* use "CurrentRelativeHumidityItem" for openHAB item with humidity value.
* "itemUniqueAggregationId" - use only with itemType=ThermostatItem, defines which item are associated with a Thermostat, use the same integer value for the same thermostat.
