Hi, I would like my homey to detect the internet address IP number from home. This would not be needed all too often, but recently my internet provider changed my IP address/name so now i cannot connect from outside of my home to most of the services i would like to. Homey is still available through the app and i would it to tell me what my new home IP is so i know the new address to connect for the camera’s for instance. I am aware of dyndns for instance, but i already have a homey with internet, script and app capability so there is(should be?) no need for an extra paid service. i just cannot find a plugin/trick to get me the external IP ☹ ---

Welcome @Alex_Lan ! [Google is your friend.](https://www.google.com/search?q=nodejs+get+external+IP) Top two results are packages which can be added to a Homey App if your that way inclinded: > **[external-ip](https://www.npmjs.com/package/external-ip)** > > A node.js library to get your external ip from multiple services > **[public-ip](https://www.npmjs.com/package/public-ip)** > > Get your public IP address - very fast! * * * Otherwise existing services for this so you can just use the Homey [http request app](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.internet) GET flow every hour and store the result in a variable. Then you will always be able to see it in More -\> Logic part of the app. [https://ipinfo.io/ip](https://ipinfo.io/ip), [http://icanhazip.com/](http://icanhazip.com/), [http://ident.me/](http://ident.me/) ---

thank you, what i was basically missing was a service that returns information that could be extracted by the http request app. i now have 1 flow every hour to get the value and better logic allows a flow to be triggered when a value changes which will inform me via mail with the new information. ---

would recommend a dyndns service to use a static address ( many router have build-in options to update the dyndns when ip changes ) i use [http://www.ddns.net/](http://www.ddns.net/) for that connected to my fritzbox ( simple setup & free ) ---

Had before [ddns.net](http://ddns.net) (noip basically). Good service but unless something changed in free plan you have to confirm / click every month on that boring email. Is it still like that? I’m now on dynu which is fully and without any restriction free service. My full recommendation. [https://www.dynu.com/](https://www.dynu.com/) ---

Here you can find information about an IP address such as country, region, city, postal code, Latitude, Longitude > **[IP Location Finder ☉ Find your IP Adress](https://iplocationfinder.net)** > > Enter the IP address and this service will give you all the details about this IP such as country, region, city ... etc ---

Hi! Just bought a Homey and found this post, how are you able to get the http value in to the logic with the http get function. Thanks 🙂 ---

Thanks for sharing this info. Now I can create alerts when my IP changes.
