Installation through HACS

There is an active PR to get this into HACS, once that is merged then you can install the Royal Mail integration by searching for it there in HA instance.

Until then you will have to add this repository manually:

Go to HACS -> 3 dot menu -> Custom Repositories:-

Paste https://github.com/jampez77/RoyalMail into Repository field and select Integration

Now you should be able to find it in HACS as normal.

You can install the Royal Mail integration by searching for it there in HA instance.

Manual Installation

Use this route only if you do not want to use HACS and love the pain of manually installing regular updates.

• Add the royalmail folder in your custom_components folder

Data

The integration creates a new entity for each parcel on you Royal Mail account with it's current delivery status, all other associated data are saved as attributes. Additionally there are entities for total mail pieces and total number of mail pieces that are due to be delivered today.

The integration will automatically remove a mail piece from your Royal Mail account and Home Assistant 24 hours after the delivery event.
