The `usps` camera component allows you to view the mail piece images made available through USPS via the Informed Delivery service. You must "Opt-In" to [Informed Delivery](https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action) to see mail images. This works in concert with [USPS sensors](/components/sensor.usps).
<p class='note'>
You must have the [USPS component](/components/usps/) configured to use this camera. The camera will be setup if the `usps` component is configured and the required configuration is set.
</p>
To customize the interval that mail images are rotated in the mail camera you can edit your `configuration.yaml` file with the following settings:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
camera:
- platform: usps
scan_interval: 5
```
To enable this camera in your installation, set up the [USPS component](/components/usps) with your username and password.

The `usps` platform allows one to track deliveries and inbound mail from the [US Postal Service (USPS)](https://www.usps.com/).
In addition to having a USPS account, you will need to complete the "Opt-In" process by clicking "Get Started Now" on [this page](https://my.usps.com/mobileWeb/pages/intro/start.action). You must also "Opt-In" to [Informed Delivery](https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action) to see inbound mail.
The `usps` sensor component allows you to view statistics on incoming mail and packages made available through USPS via the Informed Delivery service. You must "Opt-In" to [Informed Delivery](https://informeddelivery.usps.com/box/pages/intro/start.action) to see mail images. This works in concert with [USPS camera](/components/camera.usps).
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```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")
<p class='note warning'>
The USPS sensor logs into the MyUSPS website to scrape package data. It does not use an API.
</p>
To enable this sensor in your installation, set up the [USPS component](/components/usps) with your username and password.
