openHAB VS Code Extension

openHAB is a vendor and techology agnostic open source automation software for your home. This Visual Studio Code extension allows you to work with openHAB configuration files (like *.items, *.rules, *.sitemap and *.script) thanks to the syntax highlighting, code snippets and integrated search.
