Telemetry

This extension collects telemetry data to help us build a better experience for using VS Code with Home Assistant. We use vscode-extension-telemetry, which reports the following data:

  • Extension name
  • Extension version
  • Machine ID and session ID from VS Code
  • Operating system
  • Platform version

Additionally, if the language server fails to activate, we report the diagnostic data the language server produces. The extension respects the telemetry.enableTelemetry setting, which you can learn more about at VS Code's telemetry FAQ.
