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

Development

I also have a similar question. The default install location is /config/www/community/Home-Assistant-Mail-And-Packages-Custom-Card. Is that where the image path should be?

1112

The image path can be any directory under /config/www, so technically that can be a valid path, but it’d be best to use something else like /config/www/images as an example.

1113

Got it. Thanks. Card looks great! How do you set up two or more cameras? Currently I am getting two images, one from USPS and one from Amazon.

1114

You’d setup a local file camera, it’s outlined in the wiki.

1115

I read the wiki you linked to and see the example of the local camera. I do not see how to setup a second camera for the amazon picture so that it displays both deliveries.

1116

FYI I ran into this issue again this morning. My sensors became unavailable so I removed/readded the integration but go the “user input malformed” error until I selected both random image and mp4 options. I was then able to go back in and remove those options by reconfiguring. Didn’t want to necrobump the issue.

1117

Same method, just a different file name :wink:

1118

This is normal if there’s an issue connecting to the email server. Highly recommend not removing/readding to fix. It’ll resove itself after some time :slight_smile:

I’ll look into the user input error.

EDIT: Did you happen to get a error in the log when that occured?

1119

Understood but this was for like…24 hours. I think it was because i updated from b-17 to b-19 or 20, can’t remember which. I rolled back to 17 and everything is working again.

No, no log entry. I knew you’d want one too so I checked.

When I tried this on config check it said wasn’t allowed. I’ll see if I can find more details. Thanks. I do not see how to setup multiple local cameras. I can get one or the other working, but not both.I just got it. For others:

camera:
  - platform: local_file
    file_path: /config/www/images/mail_today.gif
    name: mail_usps
camera 1:
  - platform: local_file
    name: amazon
    file_path: /config/www/images/amazon_delivered.jpg
1121

Now that I have multiple cameras setup can I use them both on the custom mail an package card or do you need a second card?

1122

I think you’d need to add a 2nd card.
I just use picture entities for the cameras myself.

Running B17 which otherwise has been fine.

1124

Can you see if it persists in b20?

1125

Sure. Feel like i tried this yesterday and b20 didn’t work but going back to 17 did. Oddly the camera image updates, just not the associated sensors.

1126

Actually I found a bug, b21 should be out soon :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: Disregard, it’s early :stuck_out_tongue:

1127

Well b20 didn’t fix it for me. So no b21 to look for atm?

1128

Not yet, give me a couple mins, should have something for this error shortly tho.

EDIT: b21 posted.

1129

This works for Amazon. Thanks. When does it update? For example the picture showing is yesterday’s delivery.

1130

It updates when a new email pops in with an image.
It’s a very early feature that was tossed in. :stuck_out_tongue:
