USPS Sensor
The usps
platform allows one to track deliveries and inbound mail from the US Postal Service (USPS).
In addition to having a USPS account, you will need to complete the “Opt-In” process by clicking “Get Started Now” on this page. You must also “Opt-In” to Informed Delivery to see inbound mail.
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml
:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: usps
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
You will see two new sensors, one for packages and one for mail.
Configuration options for the USPS Sensor:
- username (Required): The username to access the MyUSPS service.
- password (Required): The password for the given username.
- name (Optional): Prefix for sensor names (defaults to “USPS”)
The USPS sensor logs into the MyUSPS website to scrape package data. It does not use an API.
