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 USPS service.
  • password (Required): The password for the given username.
  • update_interval (Optional): Interval in minutes for the updates.
