Editing rules... best option for editor

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners

I’m running OH2 on an RPi. I connect to it via SSH using the Terminal app on my Mac laptop. Is there a different editor I should use that helps when creating rules? Thanks

The best choice is VSCode with the OpenHab plugin…

It’s free, works very well, and runs on many OS’s.

I just installed VSCode and the openHAB plugin. Where do I set the proper settings for connecting to my openHAB? Thanks!

I have these settings but I get this error. I don’t see anything in the tail -F log.

{
“openhab.host”: “10.X.X.XXX”,
“openhab.port”: 8080,
“openhab.password”: “openhabian”
}

What do you see in the openHAB.log file?

Nothing. This is in the Output section below in VSCode…
[Error - 20:39:27] Server initialization failed.
Message: Internal error, please look at the server’s logs.
Code: -32603

But not in the tail -F log

I think it’s best if you post in the VS Code thread or post a new message to get help with this issue.

Sorry I couldn’t help more.
