VS Code Remote SSH

VS Code allows you to connect to a remote (file) system over SSH via the VS Code Remote SSH Extension

This extension support this way of working with 3 remarks:

  • It does not (yet) work for Raspberry Pi's

  • Open the correct folder, the root of your configuration containing the configuration.yaml. In my case: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/. Sometimes the folders/files in the workspace show up only after connecting

  • The user, used to login with, needs to have write access to your configuration, enable your user via:

    sudo chown -R yourusername /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/

    replace yourusername with your username and make sure to point to the correct folder!
