- Ignore the device by clicking the crossed-out-eye icon.
- Delete the device by clicking the trashcan icon.
The difference between ignoring and deleting discovered things is as follows:
- if you ignore a thing, it disappears from the visible inbox. If you decide to add it at a later time, you can do so by scrolling to the bottom of the inbox and click the "SHOW IGNORED" button.
- if you delete the thing, it won't be visible in the inbox any more. But if you start a new discovery process later, the thing will reappear.

In this example, we click on the check icon of the thing with the IP address 192.168.1.103.
Let's assume this is John's mobile phone which we want to use for presence detection.
We change the (automatically added during the discovery) name of the thing on the next page to "John's Mobile" and click on the "ADD AS THING" button.

What is very important: The channels are not "linked" after the thing discovery.
Linking means to create an openHAB "item" which represents the state of a channel of a thing.
Because we activated the "Simple Mode" before, this can be done automatically by clicking the corresponding radio button left to the channel. Otherwise you have to define the name of the item yourself.
