Email_imap_content

Configuration

Is there a way to only review emails that came in for the last 5 minutes or so ? Or does it only update the state when a new email comes in?

Currently doing something like this:

  - platform: imap_email_content
    name: Gmail read
    server: imap.gmail.com
    search: SUBJECT dominos pizza order confirmation
    port: 993
    username: !secret x_google
    password: !secret x_google_pw
    folder: Inbox
    senders:
      - [email protected]
    value_template: >-

I’ve read through the documentation and there’s no configuration parameter for “last x minutes”.

I would look at doing this with a condition. You’re probably going to have to do something custom with a value template, this thread contains an example which might give you some hints. I’ve never tried this and it would take me quite a while to puzzle it out.

Reading through the docs and the code, it’s only going to act on any new emails that come in, initially seeded with “emails that came in today” at HA start. The logic is here.

Thanks all. Seems i need to have 2fa enabled for this, or even it might not work currently anymore:
