The other option I was thinking was to run the python app on another VM, outside of Home Assistant, with the values being sent via MQTT. : Message: 'chromedriver' executable needs to be in PATH.Ĭould somebody please point me to an example where Selenium & webdriver is being used with Home Assistant, as my searches have not fared so well? The errors I see in the Appdaemon log when loading my app.py:įileNotFoundError: No such file or directory: 'chromedriver' System: Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (amd64 / qemux86-64) on Hyper V My system details: Appdaemon add-on version: 0.3.2 But I can’t figure out how/where to install Chromedriver and how to specify its location. The installer supports Linux, MacOS and Windows operating systems.

I was thinking that Appdaemon would be the simplest way to run the script, so I installed the Appdaemon addon and configured Selenium package to be installed. Downloads and installs the chromedriver binary version.
