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

The notification emails come from [email protected]

Based on the commits, Iā€™d say not yet.

firstof9 I just did a test from UPS and the email they send me is [email protected]. I checked all the shipments I have had over the last year and they are all the same email address. I did not see any with [email protected]. I am wondering if it is different in the US than others??? donā€™t know.

You are signed up for the UPS MyChoice notifications?

Yep just did another package and same thing it is always from pkginfo not mcinfo

I donā€™t have any emails from [email protected]. All are from mcinfo. Must be different outside the US.

Shouldnā€™t be too hard to add an ā€œORā€ filter for.
Iā€™d report the issue on github tho for tracking.

Will do thanks

Did you do it within the docker or the system running a docker? I can do it in Proxmox command line but not within HASSIO VM which is sort of like a docker.

Within Docker. Iā€™d started building my own Docker containers to add the required bits in automatically instead of having to run them every time i update.

You need to install imagmagick inside the VM. I also use PROXMOX and have it manually installed HASS in a CT (LXC container) instead of a VM, less overhead than the VM in PROXMOX. I used the ā€˜Alternative Installsā€™ as a guide.

You do lose access to the add-on library that is part of Hass.io.

@gdreelin, Would you feel comfortable forwarding one of the messages as an example? This component relies on the subject line of the email to calculate status numbers. Can you also provide what country you are in?

Oh dang I like that add-on part. I used Wiskerz007 scripts for adding HASSIO to Proxmox which I think is just a VM. Darn really wanted to use this too but I am assuming to load that imagmagick it has to be a way to do installs and updates. The version I have of HA only has the basic command line with it.

Sure I will post one here. I am in the US so I was thinking it maybe different because of that.

I also checked each one I had for the last year and all come from the same address.

See this post for a possible solution to installing imagemagick in Hass.io.

It appears you are subscribed to a UPS service called Quantum View which is meant for businesses with complex tracking needs.

Consumers subscribe to UPS MyChoice. This is what our email logic is based on. We are also in the US.

In order to support Quantum we would need all possible subject lines that are sent for shipment status changes. I will add some notes in the development project, I donā€™t have immediate plans to implement. There are other details that would need to be hashed out and implemented in order to add this method and them majority of users are most likely using the consumer tool from UPS.

Humm strange I went to my UPS MyChoice and it looks basic to me. I donā€™t remember getting an option for non-quantum view. I just signed up under the MyChoice section like you did when this was a component in HAā€¦ oh well thanks for the help.

I updated the repository and created a release to version 0.0.3-alpha. This should correct the USPS image issues and also remove the extra irrelevant images USPS is now putting in itā€™s emails. The mail images are all sized the same and should no longer stack when rotating through the gif.

I seem to be getting many ā€œSetup of platform is taking over 10 seconds.ā€ warning messages. Iā€™m not sure if the component is the cause or something else. Please report back issues on github

I get this all the time, but everything runs fine so Iā€™m sure itā€™s fine to ignore.

I get it to but for all the components Iā€™m loading. Itā€™s fine to ignore but annoying itā€™s filing up the log on start
