Yes. Only the components/sensor/usps.py file is needed to implement the change.

123

it still doesnt seem to trigger

124

should i still use a value_template?

125

Shouldn’t be necessary. I just did a test like this and it triggered just fine.

automation:
  - alias: "Test1"
    trigger:
      platform: numeric_state
      entity_id: sensor.usps_mail
      above: 2
    action:
      service: input_select.select_option
      data:
          entity_id: input_select.test_input
          option: "Above 2"

I installed 1.1.3 and now get the following error:

2017-08-02 16:06:09 ERROR (Thread-2) [homeassistant.util.package] Unable to install package myusps==1.1.2

127

That error is likely from your requirements_all.txt file not being updated with the new library version. Hopefully this all gets merged into dev soon so all this manual copying can be done.

128

Does it require both 1.1.2 and 1.1.3?

129

Nope. 1.1.3 replaces 1.1.2

130

Anyway to rectify this in the mean time?

Editing your requirements_all.txt file and replacing myusps==1.1.2 with myusps==1.1.3

132

Thanks, and now the hunt is on.

133

Is it possible to have the images downloaded to a temp folder and then automatically delete after a certain time?

This may help in sending notifications with attachements as @BurnsHA requested.

134

It’s possible, but it would deviate from the default behavior of the other camera platforms, which I don’t think is a good idea. With hass extension options like appdaemon it really shouldn’t be that much extra work to save the camera feed images locally once a day for use however you see fit.

135

Anyone seeing “attempted to access page before login” issues again?

136

I haven’t since the switch to the 1.1.3 version of the myusps library, but I admittedly haven’t been restarting HASS as much lately.

137

I’m seeing it every update now, even after forcing install of 1.1.3.

138

anyone get this working on Hass.io?? And is it planned to make it into the master branch? If so, any idea when?

139

According to https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/8679 it will be in the next release.

I’m have a Pi3 with Hassbian on .52.0. I have the USPS component installed in my config.yaml file -

usps:
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD

And I have the appropriate usps camera and two sensors (mail and package).

But I just get an ‘error loading image’ for the camera. Today was the first day I tried it out and naturally I got no mail today… But, shouldn’t it have a ‘nomail’ place card image? The configuration seems to be right, as I have packages coming and the package sensor shows those correctly.

Any help would be great! Thanks!

Sensor and Camera not working here. I do have mail today (and the last couple days)
