Mail and Packages: Custom component for UPS, FEDEX, and USPS

firstof9 · June 20, 2020, 2:16am

Try the following modifications:

- alias: "Mail Notif - Mail Delieveries"
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
  #Trigger if mail or packages get updated
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.mail_usps_mail
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.mail_usps_delivering
  #send only if mail or packages are more than 0
  condition:
    - condition: or
      conditions:
        - condition: template
          value_template: "{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.mail_usps_mail.last_changed)) < 15 }}"
        - condition: template
          value_template: "{{ (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.sensor.mail_usps_delivering.last_changed)) < 15 }}"
  action:
    - service: notify.YOUR_NOTIFY_METHOD
      data_template:
        title: "*Today's Mail and Packages*"
        message: "{{ states('sensor.mail_deliveries_message')}}"
    - service: notify.YOUR_NOTIFY_METHOD
      data:
        message: "Here is the mail"
        data:
          document:
            file: "/<config path>/images/mail_and_packages/mail_today.gif"

Note that I haven’t tested these modifications yet myself, so YMMV.

I’m not getting spammed anymore, so it’s probably working. Won’t really know until I receive an update I think. Thank you!

firstof9 · June 20, 2020, 6:32pm

I’ve updated the wiki to reflect the change, I’ve tested it myself, works great.

Jeremy_S · June 22, 2020, 1:53pm

So I updated to the latest beta version and noticed that all my entities were unavailable. After trying to set it up again I keep getting at an error on step 2 that says “User input malformed.” I haven’t changed anything for a while now and I can’t get past this step. What am I doing wrong?

firstof9 · June 22, 2020, 1:55pm

A new option was added, go through the “options” and complete them, will fix you right up.

Jeremy_S · June 22, 2020, 2:12pm

That’s exactly how I did it since the old way wasn’t working at all for me. I even tried to reinstall it and still no go.

firstof9 · June 22, 2020, 2:13pm

Can you paste the error from the log?

Jeremy_S · June 22, 2020, 2:15pm

Would this be it?

Yes, try enabling the “Generate MP4” option in step 2 of the configuration. Then go back and disable it. Unless you want it on that is.

Jeremy_S · June 22, 2020, 2:51pm

This worked, I was able to get past the setup finally but entities still show unavailable after reboot. But the gif shows now.

WhimsySpoon · June 22, 2020, 2:57pm

Exactly the same issue for me. I’ve just downloaded the component for the first time. Setup completes OK, but I have no entities and the log has the same error.

firstof9 · June 22, 2020, 3:05pm

Hotfix coming up

firstof9 · June 22, 2020, 3:12pm

@WhimsySpoon and @Jeremy_S give b10 a shot

WhimsySpoon · June 22, 2020, 3:18pm

Amazing work! I installed b10 via HACS, restarted HA and sixteen entities were automatically created (I didn’t need to reinstall the integration).

Thank you for resolving this so quickly.

Jeremy_S · June 22, 2020, 4:52pm

That did the trick. Thank you!

firstof9 · June 23, 2020, 2:53am

0.2.1 is released

Breaking change

You will need to run through the options and complete them to update the configuration due to a new feature.

What’s New

Added more Amazon TLDs for searching, currently: .com, .co.uk, .ca #125
Added a limited CA Post search since I couldn’t find an “Out for delivery” email template so there’s only a ‘delivered’ sensor at this time. #124
Fix filter_text function to detect USPS “out for delivery” emails better #92
Applied fix to Amazon email parser (should no longer error out)
Import of quopri
Amazon sensor regression fix
sync info.md with master
International Amazon fix
Added support for Amazon India in const.py
Previous code was unintentionally parsing all Amazon emails, instead of shipping confirmation mails. Implemented proposal in this comment: https://github.com/moralmunky/Home-Assistant-Mail-And-Packages/issues/125#issuecomment-643792745
Adjust Amazon sensor to pull order number from subject with regex
Simplified code to remove addition subject line parsing
Clean up some commented lines
Translation file updates #145
Add python-resize-image requirement #32
New image resize function #32
Translation URLs fixed
Add ability to generate mp4 file (requires ffmpeg) for use as a camera source #138

mbaran5 · June 25, 2020, 1:48am

Is there a usable way to have the mp4 act as a stream that can be usable in homekit?

I tried changing my camera from local_file to ffmpeg but I get a demuxing DTS error. Curious if you’ve labbed out a working config for that?

moralmunky · June 25, 2020, 3:00am

I’ve tried a couple things and haven’t figured out a way to stream. It may be a limitation of home assistant stream. I think it only supports a certain steam type.

mbaran5 · June 25, 2020, 3:51am

that’s a bummer. I wonder if there are flags that can be fed to ffmpeg to nudge it into working.

Turbo4door · June 25, 2020, 11:59pm

Getting this error. Had to re-do the integration after the recent changes, and since then have been getting this error in my logs. I have no use for this particular entity. Any help to remove or at least stop it from generating the error?

Unknown sensor type: capost_delivering
7:56:34 PM – Mail and Packages (ERROR)

Thanks
