I recently migrated from Hassbian to Hassio and during the process needed to tweak my USPS integration since I wasn’t sure how to get it to run on hassOS. While that will be a topic for a later video, I figured it would be good to share my current setup for anyone who was looking to integrate USPS with Home Assistant and not knowing how since the official integration has been removed.
The source for my my setup is blog.kalavala.net/usps/homeassistant/mqtt/2018/01/12/usps.html and the write up is very good. You could follow that doc and be good.
I however, being the tinker-er that I am, made some minor changes that I think makes it easier to maintain.
Who am I?
My Name is Jeff. I am an automator of things, and a huge Home Assistant fan. I also live in a house that tweets.

![Using Home Assistant to Create the Haunted Mansion
My very first youtube video, and my very first Home Assistant Video.
What can I say, we are Disney Nuts. So I decided to use Home Assistant to put the pre-show to Disneys Haunted Mansion in my living room. What else would you do with a home automation platform?
My camera didnt do well with the low light in the living room, but I think you can get the gist of what is going on.
