<p>The <code class="highlighter-rouge">usps</code> platform allows one to track deliveries and inbound mail from the <a href="https://www.usps.com/">US Postal Service (USPS)</a>.
In addition to having a USPS account, you will need to complete the “Opt-In” process for packages by clicking “Get Started Now” on <a href="https://my.usps.com/mobileWeb/pages/intro/start.action">this page</a>. You must also “Opt-In” to <a href="https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action">Informed Delivery</a> to see inbound mail.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<p>This component requires that a headless-capable web browser is installed on your system - either PhantomJS or Google Chrome. Preferably use Chrome if your operating system supports it, since PhantomJS is deprecated.</p>
<p class="note warning">
If you are using a Raspberry Pi, you must use PhantomJS.
</p>
<h3>PhantomJS</h3>
<p>Install the latest version of <a href="http://phantomjs.org/download.html">PhantomJS</a>. Ensure the executable is on your <code class="highlighter-rouge">PATH</code>. <code class="highlighter-rouge">phantomjs --version</code> should work and report the correct version. This is the default option and requires no further configuration.</p>
<p class="note warning">
Dont use apt-get to install PhantomJS. This version is not compatible.
</p>
<h3>Chrome</h3>
<p>Install Chrome 59 or greater (preferably the most recent). Install the latest <a href="https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads">Chromedriver</a>. Ensure both executables are on your <code class="highlighter-rouge">PATH</code>. <code class="highlighter-rouge">google-chrome --version</code> and <code class="highlighter-rouge">chromedriver --version</code> should work and report the correct version.</p>
<p>OS-specific instructions:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://gist.github.com/ziadoz/3e8ab7e944d02fe872c3454d17af31a5">Ubuntu 16</a> (Selenium server portion <em>not</em> necessary)</li>
<li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/46686621">RHEL/Centos 7</a></li>
</ul>
<p>If you use the Chrome option, specify <code class="highlighter-rouge">driver: chrome</code> in your <code class="highlighter-rouge">usps</code> configuration.</p>
<h2>Configuration</h2>
<p>To enable this component, add the following lines to your <code class="highlighter-rouge">configuration.yaml</code>:</p>
<div class="language-yaml highlighter-rouge"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="c1"># Example configuration.yaml entry</span>
<span class="s">usps</span><span class="pi">:</span>
<span class="s">username</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YOUR_USERNAME</span>
<span class="s">password</span><span class="pi">:</span> <span class="s">YOUR_PASSWORD</span>
</code></pre>
</div>
<p>You will see two new sensors, one for packages and one for mail and a camera to rotate through images of incoming mail for the current day.</p>
<p>Configuration options for the USPS component:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>username</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The username to access the MyUSPS service.</li>
<li><strong>password</strong> (<em>Required</em>): The password for the given username.</li>
<li><strong>name</strong> (<em>Optional</em>): Prefix for sensor names (defaults to “USPS”)</li>
</ul>
<p class="note warning">
The USPS sensor logs into the MyUSPS website to scrape package data. It does not use an API.
