Yes, you simply have to provide a configDescriptionURI in the ChannelType constructor and then implement a ConfigDescriptionProvider that serves the according descriptions.
Are you thinking about adding additional system channels?

I want to add a configuration to battery level channel. The purpose is to configure the sampling rate.

I think that it would be better if I can add configuration URI via the XML. I assume that adding configuration to system channels will be needed.

You cannot add an individual config description to a system channel. We could only discuss that this specific system channel should have in general certain config parameters.

Kai,

I am a little bit confused. You said:

But than you said:

In any case, simple example can be setting the notification rate of the battery channel.

I think there should be a way to add configuration to system channel. My concern is that I don't see how you can define common configuration for a system channel that can be used by different platforms.

I was referring to this constructor call: https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/blob/master/bundles/core/org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing/src/main/java/org/eclipse/smarthome/core/thing/DefaultSystemChannelTypeProvider.java
And there is only this one and only as there is only ONE battery-level system channel. So either this one is changed (by adding configuration parameters) or it is not possible to individually do it just for your thing type (you would rather have to create a channel type yourself).
