Monitor external ip and warn ik changed

[Peter_Kawa]

I updated the script last week.
And I thought “I’m getting the wrong IP address” meant as “I’m getting an IP from something elsewhere” .
Appearantly you just missed a few numbers.

This one should return any IP:

A little improvement.
While the filter slice(2, 15) is not flexible, I found a way to ensure the IP only is returned, no matter the number of digits

var response = args[0];
// A) while the - symbol is (while the returned data doesn't change)
// the first one, and close to the actual IP address,
// we select the string following the - symbol. 
// B) when the IP has less than 12 digits, remove trailing HTML code "</"
var myIP = '' + response.split("-")[1].slice(2).split("<")[0];

console.log('args: ', args[0]);

return myIP;

This is what I have:

I changed it back to:

It doesn’t change the result:

The last screenshot is the output of the HTTP GET trigger, [Result]
So, you’ll need the output of the Homeyscript card in the timeline notification card, which is [Response]
I hope this does the trick.

I recommend using the first script in your post.

Instead of using a brittle method like parsing an HTML page you can also use any of the dozens of available API’s that provide your IP-address in JSON format:

It seems to work now, thanks everybody for helping!

that’s what I was looking for for some. I can now update Duck DNS automatically. Thanks.
