It has 130 installs sharing analytics, needs the vendor's cloud and was last updated November 6, 2026. Paket Tracker follows parcels from DHL, DPD, GLS, Hermes and UPS in Home Assistant, along with orders found in emails. Amazon, eBay and AliExpress orders are picked up from a dedicated mailbox read over IMAP, and everything is shown on its own dashboard card. It adds a calendar of delivery dates, sensors for parcels today, on the way, ready for pickup and delivered, and a gift mode that hides parcel names on a shared dashboard. Parcels can be added, renamed, marked as received, assigned to a person or sent to 17track through actions. Device triggers cover out for delivery, delivered, ready for pickup and problems, and notifications can go to the person who owns the parcel. It is set up in the UI, uses the vendor's cloud for live status, and shows repair notices for rejected keys or logins. Automatic summary of the README and code of SoerenKaiser99/parcel\_tracker.

Austria and Switzerland: 4 digits (e.g. 1010). - **Hide delivered parcels after (days)** ### DHL API key rejected - **DHL API key** ### After setup - **DHL API key (optional)**: Without a key, DHL parcels come from the DHL mails via the mail import; with it you get the live status. Leave empty to keep the saved key. - **Remove DHL API key**: Tick and save to delete the saved DHL key. The tick wins, even if a new key is typed in the field above. - **17track API key (optional)**: Free key from api.17track.net (200 numbers once). Only used when you ask for it on the card. Leave empty to keep the saved key. - **Remove 17track API key**: Tick and save to delete the saved 17track key. The tick wins, even if a new key is typed in the field above. - **Country**: Decides how many digits the postcode has and which GLS lookup is asked. - **Postcode (optional)**: Germany: 5 digits (e.g. 10115). Austria and Switzerland: 4 digits (e.g. 1010). - **Hide delivered parcels after (days)** - **Hide names**: Parcels are only named after the carrier (e.g. “DHL-Paket”, “Amazon-Bestellung”) – on the card, in the calendar, in the sensors and in the notifications. For gifts on a shared dashboard. A name you typed in yourself stays visible; the stored names are not changed. - **Mail import enabled**: Switching it off removes the saved username and password. - **IMAP server** - **Port**: Usual ports: 993 encrypted, 143 unencrypted. Choosing another connection does not change the port. - **Connection**: "Encrypted (TLS, default)" fits every mail provider. The other two are only for a mail server in your own network, e.g. a self-hosted server with a self-signed certificate: with a provider on the internet the password could be read or the server impersonated. - **Username**: Leave empty to keep the saved username. - **Password**: Leave empty to keep the saved password. - **Folder**: The folder of the mailbox that is read – only this one. Keep "INBOX" for a dedicated parcel mailbox. A folder of your main mailbox works too, but then Home Assistant knows the password of that whole mailbox. Leave empty to keep the stored folder. - **Person set up**: Change or remove a person set up here, also one no longer in Home Assistant. - **Person**: Set up a new person. Leave both empty to only save the fields below. - **Unclear parcels belong to**: Everyone (as before) or one of the persons set up here. - **Shared addresses (belong to everyone)**: Addresses that belong to several persons, e.g. family@… Parcels to these addresses belong to everyone. - **Addresses (one per line)**: The person's own mail address, their forwarding address (e.g. parcels+name@…) or the sender address when forwarding by hand. To remove all addresses, remove the person. - **Notify**: Notifications about this person's parcels only go here. Empty: to the general targets. - **Remove person**: Removes the addresses and notifications of this person.
