Hi @fab33,

I'm not sure I understand. Do you think it's related to #79 ?

No it's not related to #79.
if you have this :

When you right-click to creat items on "Endstop Bureau" you have items :

Switch     EndstopBureau_Status       "Status"          {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:status"}
Number     EndstopBureau_Var1         "Variable 1"      {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:var1"}
Number     EndstopBureau_Var2         "Variable 2"      {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:var2"}
Number     EndstopBureau_Var3         "Variable 3"      {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:var3"}
Number     EndstopBureau_Var4         "Variable 4"      {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:var4"}
Number     EndstopBureau_Var5         "Variable 5"      {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:var5"}
Number     EndstopBureau_Battery      "Battery Level"   {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:battery"}
DateTime   EndstopBureau_Lastupdate   "Last Update"     {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:lastupdate"}

but for example if you right-click on Var1 to create item you have :

Number Var1 "Variable 1" {channel="mysensors:light:ESPgw:Bureau_Volet_EndStop:var1"}

one time it's EndstopBureau_Var1 (right name for me) and one time it's only Var1

Hey @kubawolanin i find the suggested change useful and ahd a look into this.
The magic happens in https://github.com/openhab/openhab-vscode/blob/master/src/ThingsExplorer/ItemsProvider.ts
but it seems that we have no information about the thing in the channel model.

Are we able to get the "Parent" from somewhere, when we know the channel?

Otherwise we could improve the channel model and add a parent property.
We could addd these info while building the tree view from rest api then.
