Thanks and done. Will let you know how it works.
By the way, today I saw the letter picture was not updated, while there was a new letter incoming which was also shown in the list. After restart of HA the right picture is showing now. Is that by design?
Nope itās not. I experienced a similar issue in which I deleted the letter from the PostNL app, while the letter was still displayed together with the image. Iām trying to figure out if this is part of the lovelace card, the component or the library.
Problem is that I need to reload HA to load my new code, which āfixesā the issue.
Still digging in to it.
Restart HA to load your new codeā¦thereby refreshing the letters anywaysā¦haha how annoying. I get it.
I will watch it for this version but the amount of letters seems to have dropped massively the last few years in this digital age, so not a lot of testing opportunities too here.
No errors so far about no letter verification for the non letter enabled account. Nice. 
The custom component has just been updated again. It solves a caching issue and validates if you have the letter option enabled in PostNL. Itās not mandatory to perform this update.
Furthermore the card had an update too (0.9.5.). Showing you a message when you have letters enabled in the card, but not in PostNL itself. Requires the custom component to be updated, but it wonāt crash if you didnāt.
So both are optional and backwards compatible.
Latest custom component (update all):
@ptnijssen
Got lucky with an incoming letter today. No update for the letter picture with the version installed yesterday late however.
great work! this fixes my problem! thank you very much!
Hi! Great component and card!
Would it be possible to include the url of the image of the latest letter as a sensor in the component?
Hi @ptnijssen, thanks for the effort you put into this component. It really looks very nice! Is there a chance this custom component will be the default for HA? That would make things so much easier to useā¦
Best regards,
QuaySo
Thanks guys! My idea always has been to replace the current version. Just wanted to make sure itās stable.
Iāve noticed a couple of bugs lately which I will fix when I back from my holiday.
After that Iāll submit it to HA to become the default version. Meanwhile I am hoping to also create some automations so you can easily get notified by HA about your deliveries.
As for @9guiajkbk2, can you explain what you want to achieve? I think there is a work-around available if you can explain what you need 
Of course! Iād like to create my own PostNL card by using the Templatable Configuration Card (https://github.com/custom-cards/config-template-card). And dynamically include the image of the latest letter.
Not sure though whether thatās the best way to do it. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!
Hope you add these great changes to the existing postnl integration soon, it looks really cool.
My postnl component stops working (donāt know if it has something to do with updates HASS (version 0.93.2). I just updated the post nl to the latest version on the github.
After restart i get:

In lovelace it shows:

Anyone a clue/solution for this?
Hey thanks for this great component.
Iāve installed it from scrap 3 times already. It shows only 2 sensors and the card is also somewhat messed up.
Please advise.
- type: "custom:postnl-card"
delivery: sensor.postnl_delivery
distribution: sensor.postnl_distribution
letters: sensor.postnl_letters
hide:
delivered: false
first_letter: false
header: false
date_format: "DD MMM YYYY"
time_format: "HH:mm"
past_days: 7
- platform: postnl
username: !secret postnl_user
password: !secret postnl_pass
Within the PostNL app, you can request to retrieve also the letters that are shipped to you. Did you enable this? Any errors in your HA logs?
The card looks like I would expect at this point. What was your expectation?
I am just home from my holiday. Will check tomorrow and get back to you.
Threading works differently I see in this forum software. So let me summarize for all and delete my previous posts:
@eh50 anything in your logs?
@Clubeddie let me update tomorrow in my own instance and get back to you.
@9guiajkbk2 Iāll check that tomorrow and get back to you.
Yeah lets keep it clean.
1st reply: I had that setup (letters, also rechecked!) prior to installing this component. I was using the post nl iOS app for my letters!
Let me know if i can help out!
2nd reply: Great, take it easy and settle down first Hope you had a nice one.

@Clubeddie Everything is fine on my 0.93.2 release. Could you just restart HA to see if it solves?
@eh50 Could you check within the custom component, if both in manifest.json as sensor.py there is a requirement āpostnlpy==0.4.1ā present? It should be 0.4.1.
Replaced every file again, and they have the correct deps. New error log:

2nd edit:
Works now with letters, although i have this now:
How to remove the double enroute and deliveredās
I think i have another issue with my HA. It looks like it cannot connect to any outside sensor or api. Donāt know what that is? Disabled some addons, reboot, still same issue. I noticed it when i want to send a text to my google home. It wonāt connect to it. So i checked some other stuff. All outside sensors or apiās could not receive anymore. Strange thing is that i can succesfull update or download addons. But there looks nothing wrong with your addon.
Disabled duckdns and all other unnecessary addons, rebootā¦ same issueā¦ gonna look further.
