Home Assistant Node Red

[diginfo]

I have nodered installed in home assistant, and have installed nbrowser, there did not appear to be any errors.

But I dont seem to be able to get any activity whatsoever, I inject a payload URL into the nbrowser node, and the output of the nbrowser is linked to a debug output.

When I inject absolutely nothing appears to happen ?!

Also, I have enabled the "Show browser window instance?" but when I click on command + shift + I - a new email is created in my email client with the url of the current selected chrome browser tab url.

I cannot seem to get this to work at all ??

Ahhh, just spotted this in the logs:

7 May 03:56:54 - [red] Uncaught Exception:

This may have to do electron incompatibility. Honestly; this project and it’s dependencies appear to be near death. I will put up an archive notice. There are alternatives in node-red repo and other browser automation projects that may be retrofitted to NodeRED.

There's lots of examples of using python selenium on google as well as setting up appdaemon in HA.
