I think what’s more important here is how you’re starting the pm2 job. Pm2 was intended for nodejs apps, so you have to make sure you’re using the correct start params.

--interpreter=python is needed.

I ran sudo pm2 start hass -u pi --interpreter=python

other errors:

1|hass | File “/usr/local/bin/hass”, line 7, in
1|hass | from homeassistant.main import main
1|hass | ImportError: No module named homeassistant.main
