Example from Rasbian put the following into file /home/pi/scripts/start_chromium_browser
#!/bin/bash
chromium-browser --kiosk --app=$(head -n 1 /home/pi/site.txt)Setup the file /home/pi/site.txt with the URL where to open project should be where webserver is located. Ideally you could setup /etc/hosts with homeautomation.dev entry to the location of the server or run it directly on the PI as well.
