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

I also see that international dates not supports.

This is just a warning I think from my reading

After this line it should give you a email_search value: what does that say?

This might be part of the issue, the email is getting a > prefixed to the line.

Says it found 5??

firstof9 · January 12, 2022, 8:08pm

Correct, I’ll have to look into filtering out the > character.

farberm · January 12, 2022, 8:22pm

Do you think that is from my Apple email forwarding?

I also have 5 USPS mail piece for today. That seems to be correct on the card…

firstof9 · January 12, 2022, 8:25pm

The amazon sensor filters thru looking for the time stamp they add to determine when you’re package counter should tick up 1 for the day, the extra > is throwing it off, so I just need to filter that out.

Keep an eye out for another beta

farberm · January 12, 2022, 8:27pm

That for all your help and great work. Really appreciate it.

firstof9 · January 12, 2022, 9:49pm

Would you be able to provided one of your forwarded emails with any private info redacted for testing?
Just replace your email address with “[email protected]” and fill in the order like #123-45678-901

Instructions on how to do that for gmail are in this issue comment.

Ok I am on a mac so I just downloaded (dragged) it to my desktop and edited with textedit.
Changed my from email to… [email protected]
Changed my To: email to…gmail email to [email protected]
I also changed the Order number to 123-45678-901

Let me know if that works as a test file

Excellent, this will help me test to make sure the code works as planned.

Great. Let me know how else I can help

Anemoi · January 13, 2022, 7:11pm

What card is that?
Looks great

fireheadman · January 13, 2022, 10:04pm

default card… with on mod.
I used this one for the top:

type: picture-elements
elements:
  - type: image
    entity: null
    camera_image: camera.mail_usps
    camera_view: live
    style:

      left: 50%
      width: 100%
  - type: image

tap_action:

and then used the default card that is on the Beta Mail/Pkgs card… but disabled

Sorry to butt in here, but I have a question about a problem I am seeing.

All of my mail & packages sensors have values of “Unknown”.

I’ve tried reinstalling the integration several times, but I always get this result. Interestingly, after checking the debug logs, the integration seems to be correctly finding the emails. Here’s a little snippet of it finding my USPS Informed Delivery email (I think):

Not sure I have everything set up the right way or understand how it should tally the mail in transit etc.

My amazon emails now show up in the debug log (see file link) but nothing changes in the In transit numbers etc

Also attached is a UPS email (link to file below) and I would have thought that it showed up in the logs?

UPS email

Any I doing something wrong?

firstof9 · January 16, 2022, 7:50pm

Remember it’s the day of delivery emails we’re utilizing, not “estimated” delivery date ones.

firstof9 · January 16, 2022, 7:51pm

Unknown sensor status occurs when there is an error hit while processing your emails, review all the debug info for problems.

I updated the template for “Deliveries Summary” example so that it only displays if mail or a package is expected. The text was way too long for me, and I didn’t need to know that I’m expecting zero Amazon packages. Planning to display this message on my dashboard. HTH!

I’ve noticed that after a restart of HA, Mail and Packages doesn’t pick anything up for that day any longer, so there’s no data until the following day. Presumably this is because it only looks at unread messages? If I log into the mailbox I’m using and mark the messages unread, it will then pick up the data.

Wondering if there’s a way to force it to re-read today’s messages after a restart, or alternately, to store the data locally for the current day so that it persists across reboots?

firstof9 · February 18, 2022, 5:03pm

This is indeed not how it works. We are not searching for unread message at anytime.

What email provider are you using?
