hi,
how much effort does it take to integrate other parcel services?
I am living in germany and would want to integrate DHL, GLS, DPD and Hermes. I already created a feature request for this, before I was pointed to this integration.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/universal-parcel-tracking-integration/197187
What can I do to support?
Weâd need to know what the emails look like (and the delivery service would need to support sending out status emails like âout for deliveryâ).
As fuzzymistborn stated, weâd need to know what the email body contains, along with the email address theyâre coming from. Feel free to submit a features request issue on the github repo with the relevant information, redact any personal info like your address and what not.
love the cardâŚ, how do i get mail pictures to show up?
i do have this in my configuration.yaml
camera:
- platform: local_file
file_path: /config/images/mail_and_packages/mail_today.gif
name: mail_usps
Youâd use a picture-entity card, unless youâre using the card moralmunky created.
any examples?
Sure thing this is my default card setup:
aspect_ratio: 50%
camera_image: camera.mail_usps
camera_view: live
entity: camera.mail_usps
show_name: false
show_state: false
type: picture-entity
how do i know if its pulling images from my gmail account? i dont think it is⌠i have 4 mail pieces coming today but it says idle

Ok check the directory /config/images/mail_and_packages/mail_today.gif for the image file. If itâs a random jumble of letters and numbers youâll either need to uncheck the random feature or use this automation:
- alias: 'Update USPS Mail Camera'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.mail_usps_mail
action:
- service: local_file.update_file_path
data_template:
entity_id: camera.mail_usps
file_path: >
{% if state_attr('sensor.mail_usps_mail','image') == None %}
/config/images/mail_and_packages/mail_none.gif
{% else %}
/config/images/mail_and_packages/{{ state_attr('sensor.mail_usps_mail','image') }}
{% endif %}
No create the directory images/mail_and_packages/ in /mnt/user/appdata/hassio/homeassistant/ which is your /config directory
ok, done now what what do i need it to say in the config for the integration?
looks sweet! i got it working, thank you! Is it possible to turn it into a popup card?
Not sure what you mean.
like if i click the mail icon or text it popups up a popup instead of the mail alwyas on the home page
Youâd need to use that custom card then. The default cards donât do that as far as I am aware.
What is the best way to get amazon tracking up and running? From what I have seen, the code seems to be configured to search for emails from amazon and has a sensor for amazon packages, but the default card doesnât display amazon deliveries. Is there something that I need to enable in order for them to be included?
