ioBroker adapter that connects to the parcel.app API and exposes package tracking data as ioBroker states — including delivery status, time windows, and tracking events. Supports all carriers that parcel.app supports.
- All parcel.app carriers — DHL, FedEx, UPS, Amazon, Hermes, GLS, DPD, and everything else parcel.app supports
- Per-package ioBroker states — carrier, status, tracking number, delivery window, last event, last location
- Summary states — active count, today count, combined delivery window
- Delivery time estimates — today, tomorrow, in X days with combined time window
- Automatic polling with configurable interval (5–60 minutes)
- Configurable cleanup — auto-remove delivered packages or keep them until deleted in parcel.app
- Add deliveries via sendTo message from scripts or other adapters
- Admin UI with connection test, polling settings, and status language selection
- Multilingual status labels (German/English)
- Node.js >= 20
- ioBroker js-controller >= 7.0.0
- ioBroker Admin >= 7.6.20
- parcel.app Premium subscription — required for API access

You can add new deliveries from JavaScript/Blockly scripts:
sendTo('parcelapp.0', 'addDelivery', {
tracking_number: '1234567890',
carrier_code: 'dhl',
description: 'My package'
});The delivery is added to your parcel.app account and immediately appears in ioBroker after an automatic poll.
- Verify your API key at web.parcelapp.net
- Ensure you have an active Premium subscription
- Check if your ioBroker instance has internet access
- The API returns cached data — new deliveries may take a few minutes to appear
- Check if you have active deliveries in the parcel.app
- The parcel.app API allows 20 requests per hour
- The minimum poll interval is 5 minutes to stay within limits
- Fix: handle response stream errors (prevents unhandled exceptions on connection drop)
- Fix: isolate per-delivery poll failures (one broken delivery no longer blocks all others)
- Fix: harden onMessage with try/catch and callback guard
- Fix: onUnload try/catch prevents adapter hang on shutdown
- DRY: parseStatus helper eliminates repeated parseInt calls
- Simplify obsolete state cleanup, use setObjectNotExistsAsync for states
- Fix test timezone bug, remove unused devDependencies, add
no-floating-promiseslint rule - Remove redundant
actions/checkoutfrom CI workflow
- Add standard ioBroker test suite, optimize test build config
- Clean up empty parent folders after removing obsolete states
- Consistent UI labels across all adapters
- Remove redundant scripts, compress documentation
- Fix delivery window timeout on Windows (deterministic time formatting)
- Modernize dev tooling (esbuild, TypeScript 5.9 pin, testing-action-check v2)
