USPS Informed Delivery idea

Wiki Projects & Stories

Just wondering if it would be possible to make a smart app / dth for USPS informed delivery. My idea would be to make a device that simulates a camera. I know some cameras don’t show motion and only snapshots. Could the same be done here? If the email is captured or the API for USPS used, could the images be scraped into SmartThings to show what mail is expected? It would then reset daily.

Not sure how feasible this is, but I think it could be useful.

Edit: I see home assistant has this, so I assume it might be possible:

Just wondering where you’re going to display the images when/if it gets captured by an app or handler?

Couldn’t they be displayed where a camera feed would normally go? I thought some of the smart apps like NST Manager do this already for the still images of cameras.
