Hi Guys,
i found this on github:
now i want to connect with the REST API - i changed:
“Arbeitsbereicheinstellungen” & " Benutzereinstellungen"
( Workspace-Setting / User-Setting )
to something like this:
{
"openhab.host": "openhabianpi.local",
"openhab.port": 8080
}
also tried with IP:
But what is the Username and Password ? - i always get the same error:
Error while connecting to openHAB REST API.
thanks
There is no username and password. Do you perhaps have a firewall or something like that that mght be blocking the access?
It might work out better to install it through the standard channels:
http://docs.openhab.org/configuration/editors.html#openhab-vscode
nothing blocks - still the same error 
which settings do i need to edit ? nothing ?
thanks
Same problem. I do not know how to solve
I wish I had an idea. Many @kubawolanin had an idea.
In looking at the screenshot, try removing the ending comma after the last item.
"openhab.host": "http://192.168.xx.xxx",
"openhab.port": "8080"And OpenHab is running right?
thanks , good eye 
i’ve already found this comma, too - but didnt help
yes, openhab is running and i can see something in http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/rest
but still the same error
did you add http:// to the openhab.host ?
no , like in the code and picture above
Could you try to move the openhab.host and openhab.port parameters to User Config? There might be a problem for VSCode to access the settings file. Just an idea.
no success
User-Config (Test #1):

"workbench.colorTheme": "Liqube Dark Code",

"openhab.port": 8080
}
User-Config (Test #2):

"openhab.host": "XX.XX.XX.XX",
"openhab.port": 8080
}
Workspace-Config:

}
Error while connecting to openHAB REST API.
You can try forcing the rest API by setting that value to TRUE. Or to FALSE to disable and get rid of the warning.
Also, did you add “Http://” to the front of your 192.168.xx address?
This is my entire settings.
{
"window.menuBarVisibility": "default",
"openhab.host": "http://192.168.11.123",
"openhab.port": "8080",
"openhab.useRestApi": true,
"openhab.sitemapPreviewUI": "classicui",
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",
"openhab.karafCommand": "ssh openhab@%openhabhost% -p 8101 -t 'log:tail'",
"window.zoomLevel": 1,
"python.disablePromptForFeatures": [
"pylint"
]
}thanks, i tried but no success
RestAPI to = false
is not the thing i want
{
"openhab.host": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
"openhab.port": 8080,
"openhab.useRestApi": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 1,
"workbench.colorTheme": "Liqube Dark Code",
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-great-icons",
"workbench.panel.location": "bottom"
}
I think port 8080 needs to be in quotes.
{
"openhab.host": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
"openhab.port": "8080",
"openhab.useRestApi": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 1,
"workbench.colorTheme": "Liqube Dark Code",
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-great-icons",
"workbench.panel.location": "bottom"
}
Error while connecting to openHAB REST API.
Hmm, could you go to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/rest/items and tell if it’s returning anything?
I see that you’ve loaded Things successfully so I assume there’s something wrong with the Items.
Also, what’s your distro number?
my /rest/items result:
its the stable 2.1 version
openhabian - 7.05.170509
openHAB 2.1.0-1 (Release Build)
i got it working!
i deleted those items (bottom), saved and clicked on the OPENHAB ITEMS refresh-button ( in VSC ) - then i got the correct Items in VSC - strange…
(pasted the code for items back and saved again, still working )
i tried to reproduce the same procedure on my macbook.
( strange thing, on my macbook its working, WITH the items i deleted in the first try with my main computer. )
this is my working USER CONFIG now - nothing in Workspace-Config
{
"openhab.host": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
"openhab.port": "8080",
"openhab.useRestApi": true,
"window.zoomLevel": 1,
"workbench.colorTheme": "Liqube Dark Code",
"workbench.iconTheme": "vscode-great-icons",
"workbench.panel.location": "bottom"
}
this is my working USER CONFIG on my macbook - nothing in Workspace-Config
{
"openhab.host": "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx",
"openhab.port": "8080",
"openhab.useRestApi": true
}
Thanks to all for the help - hopefully it stays functional
this are my items i deleted (saved) and pasted back in (saved) and its working now…
dont ask me why … - i just deleted the items i added lately
