# **PostNL for Homey**

View expected mail items and PostNL parcels directly in Homey.

The app uses PostNL’s personal, non-public interfaces. Because these interfaces are not officially intended for third-party applications, changes by PostNL may occasionally require an app update.

PostNL for Homey provides a dedicated **My PostNL** device with capabilities, Flow cards, Flow tokens and widgets for both mail and parcels.

### Linking your PostNL account

1. In Homey, go to **Add Device → PostNL → My PostNL**.

2. Enter the **email address** and **password** you use for the PostNL app or website.

3. Homey signs in directly with PostNL and securely stores the resulting authentication session.

4. After a successful login, your **My PostNL** device is created automatically.

If your PostNL session expires, open the device and use **Repair** to sign in again.

> **Important:** Use the same email address and password that you use for the official PostNL app or website.

Your PostNL password is only used to authenticate with PostNL. Never share your PostNL credentials, access tokens or refresh tokens with anyone.

## Widgets

PostNL for Homey includes four widgets:

### **My Post**

Shows your currently announced mail items, including available mail scans.

### **My Packages**

Shows your current and recent PostNL parcels with sender, status and delivery information.

### **My Delivery**

Shows the active delivery, including the official PostNL status, delivery window and delivery progress.

### **Parcel Journey**

Shows the full Track & Trace journey of the active parcel, including previous PostNL status events.

## Parcel information

The **My PostNL** device exposes detailed parcel information through device capabilities and Flow tokens, including:

- Official PostNL parcel status
- Canonical parcel status
- Observation code
- Sender
- Receiver
- Tracking number
- Delivery date
- Delivery window
- Latest parcel event
- Parcel status timestamp
- Delivered status
- Shipment type
- Parcel weight in grams
- Parcel weight in kilograms
- Parcel dimensions
- Parcel length
- Parcel width
- Parcel height
- Pickup / PostNL Point status
- Pickup-point information when supplied by PostNL
- Full parcel status history

Canonical statuses provide a stable status layer for automations:

- Registered
- In transit
- Out for delivery
- At pickup point
- Delivered
- Returning
- Unknown

The original PostNL status text remains available as well, so detailed statuses such as **“Shipment is being sorted”** or **“Courier is on the way”** are not lost.

* * *

## Flows

PostNL for Homey includes Flow triggers for events such as:

- New mail expected
- New parcel found
- Delivery window became available
- Parcel status changed
- Parcel delivered
- Delivery window changed
- New PostNL parcel event
- Parcel weight became available
- Parcel dimensions became available
- Synchronization failure
- Login expired

Condition cards are also available for checking:

- Mail expected
- Parcels underway
- Delivery window known
- PostNL connected
- Parcel has weight information
- Parcel has dimensions
- Current official PostNL parcel status
- Current canonical parcel status

Condition cards support Homey’s normal and **inverted** state.

* * *

## Synchronization

PostNL data is refreshed automatically in the background.

When PostNL changes information such as the delivery window, parcel status or Track & Trace history, the Homey device, widgets, capabilities and Flow data are updated during synchronization.

The app also supports manual refresh through Homey.

PostNL does not provide a public consumer API. If one of the non-public interfaces changes, some functionality may temporarily become unavailable until the integration is updated.
