Hi all,
I’ve got two kids at preschool. They don’t have any smartphones or other trackable devices, but I do get e-mails whenever they arrive/depart.
I’m trying to setup a person tracker for each of them, to show if they’re at preschool or not.
So far:
- I did set up a fake device tracker, using deprecated known_devices.yaml (better ways?).
- I did manage to create the persons with connection to the fake trackers.
- I did manage to manually set the tracker to preschool or away using a entity card, and click/long click.
- I managed to install IMAP email content to parse my emails for the check in/out emails.
So far so good.
To the question:
I cannot figure out how to integrate the mail parser function to set the fake tracker value. Any and all ideas would be great, please!
Fake tracker:
kid1_fake_device_tracker:
name: kid1_fake_device_tracker
mac:
icon:
picture:
track: true
E-mail parser:
# IMAP email content, email parser
sensor:
- platform: imap_email_content
server: imap.gmail.com
name: tempushemma
port: 993
username: [email protected]
password: !secret gmail1
senders:
- [email protected]
value_template: >-
{% if 'Kid1 check out' in subject %}
Away
{% elif 'Kid1 check in' in subject %}
Preschool
{% endif %}
To (sucessfully) set the tracker manually in the entity card, I use:
type: entity-button
tap_action:
action: call-service
service: device_tracker.see
service_data:
dev_id: kid1_fake_device_tracker
location_name: Preschool
hold_action:
action: call-service
service: device_tracker.see
service_data:
dev_id: kid1_fake_device_tracker
location_name: away
show_icon: true
show_name: true
entity: person.kid1
