Converted to a discussion as its not a bug, but might be worth having as an enhancement

@Alllfff - Im trying to set this up and having some struggles. Without doxxing myself - also looking to set it up for WLC……

Can I PM you with some queries as to how you got this running?

[Alllfff]

Of course, go for it

Huh, not often on SO & realised they don’t have a DM function as far as I can see….

I think I have got the local selenium setup enabled for my HA instance. Once it was set up, how did you execute a scrape data into a file? Have you integrated with this? https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/tree/master

Sorry I totally missed your reply.
I do not use https://github.com/mampfes/hacs_waste_collection_schedule/tree/master or scrape data into a file (as far as I know? My knowledge of HA is pretty basic, please understand)

I only have 4 sensors on my dashboard that look like this:

no schedules or automations based on this (yet)

Sorry I could not help you more...
