In this video we will configure 17track.net package tracking integration with Home Assistant.

00:00 Intro

01:03 First step is to create account if you don’t have already one:
https://www.17track.net/en – and just create normal user (buyer) account.

03:02 If you want to track package, you have to add it using 17track.net web site – go to buyer section and just copy/past tracking data there.

04:28 Next step is to add component information in sensors.yaml file:

– platform: seventeentrack
username: !secret seven_user
password: !secret seven_pass

And don’t forget to define those variables in your secrets.yaml file:

seven_user: YOUR_USERNAME
seven_pass: YOUR_PASSWORD

This should be it and you should see delivery information in your HA.

I use monster-card to automatically populate list of packages:
card:
– type entities
filter:
include:
– entity_id: sensor.*track_package_*
options:
secondary_info: last-changed
title: Tracking
type: ‘custom:monster-card’

But since this component is deprecated you should switch to auto-entities from HACS:

card:
type: entities
title: Packages
show_header_toggle: false
filter:
include:
– entity_id: sensor.seventeentrack_package_*
options:
secondary_info: last-changed
type: ‘custom:auto-entities’
