USPS Sensor

The usps platform allows one to track deliveries by 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. Currently, you also will need to have a package listed in the “Package Dashboard” in order for the component to complete set-up.

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

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): Name the sensor (default: your mailing address).
update_inverval (Optional): Minimum time interval between updates. Default is 1 hour. Supported formats:
- update_interval: 'HH:MM:SS'
- update_interval: 'HH:MM'
- Time period dictionary, e.g.:
```
update_interval:
    # At least one of these must be specified:
    days: 0
    hours: 0
    minutes: 3
    seconds: 30
    milliseconds: 0
```

The USPS sensor logs into the MyUSPS website to scrape package data. It does not use an API.
