Fixed for me, thanks!

I’m running b21 (just updated), but my Amazon sensor is reporting 3 packages, even though I don’t have any emails out. (i do have 1 package en-route today, but I never received an email for it). It’s been incorrectly reporting 3 Amazon packages for the last couple days

Logs at https://pastebin.com/bEYNBTKH

EDIT: When I review the sensor.mail_amazon_packages entity, it just shows 1 order, which was shipped and delivered on Dec 28 (i used overnight shipping). Maybe the entity got confused when a new package was shipped and delivered on the same day?

Looks like something happened with the amazon forwarding bit, I’ll have a look.

Give b22 a shot. Based on my tests it should work properly now.

I’m trying to track the total number of packages arriving by combining all the mail sensors. I’m not very familiar with templates but this is what I’ve come up with. It validates and currently shows “0” (I don’t have any packages arriving).

Does this look right?

- platform: template
    sensors:
      packages_remaining:
        friendly_name: Remaining Deliveries Today
        icon_template: "mdi:package-variant-closed"
        value_template: >-
          {{ states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | int - states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered.state | int +
          states.sensor.mail_ups_packages.state | int - states.sensor.mail_ups_delivered.state | int +
          states.sensor.mail_fedex_packages.state | int - states.sensor.mail_fedex_delivered.state | int +
          states.sensor.mail_usps_packages.state | int - states.sensor.mail_usps_delivered.state | int }}

b22 seems to have fixed the issue. thanks

Most of that logic is already in the “In Transit” sensor, the only thing you’d need to keep is the amazon stuff.

CommittotheIndian · December 30, 2020, 9:20pm

So how would I add the amazon stuff to the “In Transit” sensor?

My end goal is to add it to an Apple Watch complication. This is the example I’m trying to reach. I figured it was easier to match this template with a single sensor (that collected all sensors) vs adding each individual sensor.

apple_watch_packages_progress:
  friendly_name: Apple Watch Packages Progress
  icon_template: "mdi:package-variant-closed"
  value_template: >- 
    {% if states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | int == 0 %}
      1.0
    {% else %}
      {{ (states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered.state | float) / (states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | float) }}
    {% endif %}

firstof9 · December 30, 2020, 9:28pm

This should do it:

- platform: template
    sensors:
      packages_remaining:
        friendly_name: Remaining Deliveries Today
        icon_template: "mdi:package-variant-closed"
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.mail_packages_in_transit') | int + (states('sensor.mail_amazon_packages') | int - states('sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered') | int) }}"

EDIT: added missing 's

Does the “in transit” subtract the delivered or would I need make a template for delivered packages as well?

I want my watch to show how many are arriving with a graph indicating how many have already been delivered.

firstof9 · December 30, 2020, 9:57pm

As ‘in transit’ goes down ‘delivered’ goes up.

CommittotheIndian · December 30, 2020, 10:14pm

Great so using your code, I added a 2nd entity for my wife’s amazon. Does this still look good?

- platform: template
    sensors:
      packages_remaining:
        friendly_name: Remaining Deliveries Today
        icon_template: "mdi:package-variant-closed"
        value_template: "{{ states.sensor.mail_packages_in_transit.state | int + states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | int + states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_2.state | int - states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered.state | int + states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered_2.state | int }}"

And how would I add your sensor template to this sensor for the watch?

apple_watch_packages_progress:
  friendly_name: Apple Watch Packages Progress
  icon_template: "mdi:package-variant-closed"
  value_template: >- 
    {% if states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | int == 0 %}
      1.0
    {% else %}
      {{ (states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered.state | float) / (states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | float) }}
    {% endif %}

firstof9 · December 30, 2020, 10:21pm

Don’t use states.state use states().

CommittotheIndian · December 30, 2020, 10:58pm

EDIT: and using states() does not pass the template check. It results in an unavailable upon HA restart.

That covers the packages remaining sensor. What do I do about the delivered sensor?

I’m trying to replace the below code with all of my packages in transit and all of my packages delivered.

{% if states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | int == 0 %}
      1.0
    {% else %}
      {{ (states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages_delivered.state | float) / (states.sensor.mail_amazon_packages.state | float) }}
    {% endif %}

Thank you for a fantastic component! I’m sure this info is out there somewhere, but I didn’t see it in the wiki and couldn’t easily find it in this forum post. I’m looking for a summary of exactly what each sensor means. I feel like there is something incorrect with my setup, but want to make sure. For example, should mail_packages_in_transit show an aggregate count of all packages being delivered today? What is the difference between mail_ups_packages and mail_ups_delivering?

In my case, I have one package from UPS being delivered today, and the component has picked that up. But the only sensor that has been updated is mail_ups_delivering (set to 1). But mail_ups_packages is 0 and mail_packages_in_transit is 0. Should those sensors have been updated as well?

My lovelace card looks like:

In the logs I see this regarding the UPS emails:

Are you running the latest beta? b23 should be up.

spike_b · December 31, 2020, 6:10pm

I was running b23, but I updated after I saw this initial issue. So, I decided to uninstall and reinstall. But now, I’m getting an error on step 2 of the configuration page. “user input malformed”.

firstof9 · December 31, 2020, 6:11pm

Please check the Home Assistant log for error messages.

EDIT: You might need to enter "" where the “Amazon forwarded email addresses” field is, I’ll have to take a look as to why it’s causing an error.

spike_b · December 31, 2020, 6:21pm

Yeah, that was in there originally and I tried removing it. I just tried completely removing the integration and re-adding it using the beta version from the start and I’m still getting the “user input malformed” error. But no error message is getting logged.

I also tried setting the folder back to INBOX and tried changing the options selected in the “sensors list” but I can’t get past this form.

Thanks so much.
