VS Code in Home Assistant: any use for this outside of editing yaml files? (lemmy.world)

I don't see that there's any sort of integration for writing code to process information from HA entities like Node Red + Companion. Am I missing something and this is more than just an interface for the config files and maybe a git client for those config files?

I think you want something like Hass configurator?

No, I see all the config files in VScode, but I really don't have much need for that since I've usually done that stuff via SSH. I was wondering if VSCode gave any sort of actual integration with HA like the NodeRed Companion does by exposing all the entities within the IDE so you can do your own coding.

Another commenter mentioned Pyscript which seems like it does some sort of tying together of HA and code.

Vscode extension is aware of home assistant entities, so you get (or should) auto completion of existing entities and services, which you will not get on vim over ssh
