OpenHab And VSCode

Hello,

I am just getting started with OpenHAB and have setup VS code to be able to work with the Items a little easier. Only the issue I am having is that when I look in the configuration files for the “items” there is only a readme in the directory. Is there something I need to do to get this to update to the items I have already put in the project? Is this someting that is system generated to start with? Thanks for the help!

If you have created the Items using the UI then VScode will not be useful for editing them. The various \items and \things and etc directories are only if you are using text configuration (building all your things and/or items using text files).

Anything created using the UI will be stored in a different location and should be edited using the UI except in the most dire of situations.
