It says /config
But I don’t have a config folder anymore… Should I use /config/www/mail_and_packages anyway?
Yep that should be it
Finally! mystery solved- I got the GIF to work. Possibly you did what I did wrong. When adding the integration from the “configuration” left menu bar, then selecting “integrations” and selecting the “mail and packages” integration, you probably copied and pasted the if using in docker path wrong. You must include the / forward slash at the end of the path: /config/www/mail_and_packages/ DO NOT /config/www/mail_and_packages without a foward slash at the end. As soon as I did that it worked- total rookie mistake I made and haunted me for days and hours of research!
I finally got it working too. I actually had the formatting correct but the path was completely off and I was missing the camera.py file. Thanks to @fuzzymistborn and BurnsHA’s YouTube channel I got it up and running after struggling for a week straight. Glad you figured it out as well. Love this component!
Been trying to get it to work but no dice. Seems like its finding the email but the images aren’t being detected? I have attached my log here. I had email today with 2 images
bash-5.0# python3 /config/www/mail_and_packages/test.py

I thought maybe imagemagick isn’t installed but haven’t been able to get anywhere. I am running hassio in ubuntu
bash-5.0# apk add --update imagemagick

fetch http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.10/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz

I have the camery.py file and the path in the integrations is /config/www/mail_and_packages/
Sounds like an old version. Latest version doesn’t have a camera.py anymore.
The packages directory isn’t needed anymore all you need is the custom_component directory files. You can use the lovelace card if you like, but it’s not really needed you can make your own via the sensors.
Don’t pull the camera.py from my repo. 
Use only the files from moralmunky’s repo.
Check the /config/www/mail_and_packages/ for a gif file called mail_today.gif that should display the images from the USPS email if any were attached.
I’ll see what I can do about updating the documentation on the repo to install this, maybe even get it added to HACS.
Do i need to add the flies under www folder as well? Or just custom_component directory?
It would be great if you get it added to HACS!
You will need the www directory as well
This is what i did but no success so far. I am running Hassio in Ubuntu
- Pasted the custom component and www folders in their respective directories
- Installed imagemagick in the homeassistant container (
docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash) and thenapk add --update imagemagick) - Set up integration from HA frontend with the following path:
/config/www/mail_and_packages/
It generates mail_today.gif which is updated every few minutes but its just the default “no mail”.
When i run the test scrip this is what i get. I received an email today with USPS informed delivery with 2 images of the mail.
bash-5.0# python3 /config/www/mail_and_packages/test.py

Try this go to the dev-tools -> Services
Change the drop down to logger.set_level
In the box put in
custom_components.mail_and_packages: debug
and click Call Service
That should turn on debugging for the component check your Home Assistant logs for messages.
Here you go!

Guess I missed that likely because it didn’t state that it was generating a image.
From inside your docker container can you execute the command which convert and post the output?
Should be something similar to: /usr/bin/convert
This is the output I get: /usr/bin/convert
I am also stuck on this step. Running the test.py I get mail found (4 images on the email) but 0 images returned. Have installed Imagemagick and it appeared to complete successfully. I am running HASSOS on a RPi.
Does your todays_mail.gif only show “No Mail”?
