DHL custom_component

This is a custom component for home-assistant to track DHL packages.

Its activated by adding the following to your configuration.yaml:

sensor:
  - platform: dhl
    api_key: !secret dhl_api_key

And you get your own api key by registering at https://developer.dhl.com/

After that you can start to track your packages by calling the service dhl.register with a argument looking like {"package_id": "123456789"} to have home-assistant start tracking that package.

And when you loose interest in that package, you just stop tracking it by calling dhl.unregister with a corresponding argument.

To view all your packages in a nice fashion, I use the auto-entities[1] card to view them all as a list in lovelace:

      - card:
          type: entities
        filter:
          include:
            - domain: dhl
        type: 'custom:auto-entities'

This component shares quite a bit of code and architecture with my package tracker for Postnord[2], bring[3] and DbSchenker[4].
