Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂

No special addon. I use a Node-RED flow to query the Paperless-NGx API to find the number of documents with the “intake” tag. Here’s a template.

Instructions:

1. Create an API token for Paperless-NGx by going to http://<PAPERLESS_URL_WITH_PORT>/admin/authtoken/tokenproxy/ and clicking Add Token
2. Import the flow into Node-RED
3. Take the token you’ve created in step 1 and paste it over the <PAPERLESS_TOKEN> placeholder in the “Headers” function node
4. Change the URL in the “Make API Request” HTTP node to point towards your Paperless-NGx installation
5. Replace the debug node at the end with whatever you want. I personally use a Sensor node to import the value into Home Assistant.
