Your config, local or remote?

I often get the question if this extension will provide access to the files on the (remote) Home Assistant host.

The answer is no. This extension runs on the machine with VS Code and needs the configuration files locally.

There are a couple of tricks to be able to work on 'remote' files:

• Via the Hassio Samba Share add-on

  With this add-on, you can directly work on your files via a network share.

• Via the Hassio VS Code Add-on which comes with this extension pre-installed

• Via VS Code Remote development. This does not seem to work on a Raspberry Pi, but technically this should work (I've not tested it)
