I have been searching for a few weeks now and cannot find it. How can I get my internet IP address and use this as logic? I haven’t found any apps or explanation on how to get the IP address. Surely I mustn’t be the only one?

I know how to get my ip address, but I want Homey to get it, so it can be used in flows. Since my IP address changes almost every week because my provider is crap but there is no other option
