Did ju change the setting in IMAP config to fetch first 9200 bytes?
hi
i solved it. it works now buyt need to check some errors. my map froze after a couple of minutes. .

Hi all and especially @fatuuse, congrats!
I’ve followed all the steps and I believe it’s nearly working, however there might be some issues related to the most recent ways that YAML is written in HA… I’m not an expert, but:
- I get an email event with details, so IMAP with search works
- All sensors show up but no sensors get updated upon receiving an email and getting the IMAP event
- When I check the garmin_livetrack.yaml in VS I get a few error highlights related to “LEGACY_SYNTAX”, screenshot below
Any way how to fix this? I’m asking because it feel I would go in the wrong direction if I did it myself, as for example for platform: state it says to instead use trigger: calendar, which seems far-fetched.
update I checked the automation and while it did receive input there are a few errors especially on the timestamps, but even without the timestamps it should still populate the sensors, shouldn’t it?

I would say that the current syntax is right.
From your debug, the session id is missing. Something in the regex from IMAP maybe.
Try to copy the link in the mail and put it in the input_text.garmin_livetrack_link text-box. And then look att the sensor sensor.garmin_livetrack_id has all attributes right, session and token.
It seems that URLs for session info and trackpoints are no longer usable. Anyone has managed to scrape current fetch system?
It likes they redesign how data is presented. The parser for data needs to be redesigned.
Now I use this (tested and re-posted) graphQL fetch. I use the session start/end approach because the END event isn’t sent when no GPS position is reached before aborting/ending activity.

Did you update IMAP sensor to fetch a bigger size of the text?
I think the link is further down in the mail nowadays why I did update IMAP integration to fetch the first 21000 bytes.
Thank you @aikrana !
First post updated.
Thanks to you @fatuuse! I’ve been using this everyday for many things during two years thanks to your initial package
Is still package still working? I just found this and keen to integrated this. I have IMAP set-up (incl. 21000 size, via gmail)) but don’t see any data yet flowing into the sensors. See below.
The date from sensor.garmin_livetrack_link_from_email tells me IMAP is working properly.
See below the logs that I am getting
Thanks for your help!
