Die Dokumentation dieser Integration wird von ihrem Autor geschrieben und ist bisher nur auf Englisch verfügbar.
Shows your Picnic grocery deliveries in Gladys (Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, France), read only: the slot of the next delivery, its estimated arrival when Picnic gives one, the order cut-off, the status of the last order, and the cart. A scene trigger fires when the delivery is approaching.
Unofficial API, never tested with a real account. The integration talks to the API of the Picnic app, which Picnic does not document and may change at any time. It was written from python-picnic-api2 and the Home Assistant integration, and tested against made-up answers only. Not affiliated with Picnic.
What you get
One device, Picnic, with these features (all read only):
| Feature | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Next delivery: slot start | 2026-10-18 14:15 | local time given by Picnic; — without a planned delivery |
| Next delivery: slot end | 2026-10-18 16:15 | |
| Next delivery: estimated arrival | 2026-10-18 14:48 (14:40–15:00) | only when Picnic gives an ETA (usually on the day), else — |
| Order before | 2026-10-17 23:00 | see below |
| Last order status | Upcoming, Delivered, Cancelled | other statuses shown as Picnic sends them |
| Cart: articles | 3 | |
| Cart: total | 12.34 € |
Order before is the cut-off of the booked delivery while it can still be changed; once it has passed, the cut-off of the slot selected in the cart, else of the first slot the cart offers.
Gladys has no date feature: times are text, shown as the local time Picnic sends (the time zone of your Picnic country).
Nothing is ever added to the cart or ordered: this version only reads.
Set up
- In Gladys, install the Picnic integration from the store.
- Enter the e-mail and password of your Picnic account (the ones of the app) and choose its country, then save.
- If the status asks for a verification code, see below.
- Open the Discovery tab and add the Picnic device.
The password field is a secret field: Gladys keeps it in its database
(in plain text, like every configuration value, and in its backups), never
shows it again, and the integration only sends it to Picnic, as the MD5
digest the Picnic app sends.
Verification code (two steps)
For a new sign-in, Picnic may ask for a code sent by SMS or e-mail. The integration never asks for one by itself (no SMS without your click). When the status says "Picnic asks for a verification code":
- In the configuration screen, under Send the verification code, choose SMS or E-mail and click the button. The integration signs in and Picnic sends the code.
- Under Verify the code, type the code you received and click the button. "Code accepted" means connected.
The session is then kept (in the integration's /data): no code at the next
restarts. Picnic may still ask for a code again later, when the session
expires or is revoked (a new device, a password change): the status then
says so, and the same two steps apply.
- A code is requested at most once a minute (even across a restart).
- Clicking Send the verification code more than 10 minutes after the sign-in that asked for it signs in again first (one sign-in), then asks for the code: use the newest code you receive.
- While connected, Send the verification code answers "already connected" and sends nothing.
- If Picnic refuses to send the code, the message gives its reason code: try the other channel, or later. If the code is refused, check it or ask for a new one. A restart between the two steps loses nothing.
Refresh
- Every 15 minutes by default (5 to 60, Refresh interval). Each read is 2 requests: the cart and the delivery list.
- Delivery day: from 12 hours before the slot, every 5 minutes.
- Around the delivery: from 45 minutes before the slot (or the ETA) to 30 minutes after it, every 2 minutes, plus the live position (a third request, for the ETA).
Scene trigger: "Picnic delivery approaching"
Fires once per delivery, when the estimated arrival given by Picnic is at
most "Delivery approaching" lead minutes away (15 by default, 5 to 60).
Without an ETA from Picnic, it does not fire. Variables:
minutes (minutes before the arrival), eta, slot_start, slot_end
(local times as text). Example: switch the porch light on and send a message
"Picnic in 15 minutes".
When things go wrong
- E-mail or password refused: the integration stops and waits. Check the e-mail, the password and the country, then save (or click Test the connection). It never signs in again by itself after a refusal.
- Session refused: the session token kept is refused, the integration signs in again once; refused again, it pauses with a message and tries again (one sign-in each time) after 1 hour, 6 hours, then every 24 hours. If such a try is refused or asks for a code, it stops as above (it never requests a code by itself). Test the connection tries at once.
- Sign-in request rejected (HTTP 400): Picnic has probably changed its API; the integration stops and asks to update it.
- Too many requests (429): a pause of 1 minute to 6 hours (Picnic's
Retry-After, 15 minutes without it), for every read and button, kept across a restart and a change of account. HTTP 403 (a block): one hour, for every read and button too. - Test the connection reads at most once every 30 seconds (one sign-in at most), without the live position, so it answers within a minute.
- Picnic unavailable (5xx, network): new tries after 2, 5, 10, 15, then every 30 minutes.
- The live position failing never hides the cart and the deliveries.
Limits
- Unofficial API: Picnic may change it, block it or ask for more checks.
- Read only: no cart changes, no ordering (maybe later).
- One Picnic account per Gladys.
- Never tested with a real account: please report what you see on the GitHub repository (without your e-mail, password or codes).
Privacy
The integration keeps in /data/picnic-state.json (readable by its
container only): a random device id, the session token, the account it
belongs to as a hash of the e-mail and the country, your Picnic user id (it
names the Gladys device), the end of a 429 pause, when a code was last
requested, and the ids of the deliveries already announced. Neither the e-mail nor the password. Nothing
is sent anywhere but to Picnic.

Gladys installiert sie mit einem Klick und führt sie in einer vom Kern isolierten Sandbox aus. Sie wird von LM1LC3N7 veröffentlicht und gepflegt, nicht vom Gladys-Kernteam.
