So, with that sensor.py version, I was still receiving the following error:

I managed to fix that issue by changing line 973 to (added a parameter for the unicode decode to ignore invalid characters):

email_msg = email_msg.decode("utf-8", "ignore")

I think that resolved my issues. I have an Amazon package out for delivery today, and I was going to back and forth trying to figure out why the sensor still said 0. I eventually realized the email Amazon sent says it is going to be delivered tomorrow, so they are ahead of schedule. 🤦‍♂️ I’ll keep an eye on things are report back. Next package should be Tuesday.
