The `ups` platform allows one to track deliveries by the [UPS](https://www.ups.com/). To use this sensor, you need a [My UPS Account](https://www.ups.com/mychoice).
To enable this sensor, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: ups
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
```
Configuration options for the UPS Sensor:
- **username** (*Required*): The username to access the UPS My Choice service.
- **password** (*Required*): The password for the given username.
- **name** (*Optional*): Name the sensor.
- **update_inverval** (*Optional*): Minimum time interval between updates. Default is 1 hour. Supported formats:
- `update_interval: 'HH:MM:SS'`
- `update_interval: 'HH:MM'`

<pre>update_interval:
# At least one of these must be specified:
days: 0
