Public IP in Home Assistant?
Public IP in Home Assistant?
What’s the best way that people have found to get their public IP address into Home Assistant? It’d be useful to run an automation to send a notification when it changes.
sensor:
- platform: dnsip
group: External IP: - sensor.dnsip
automation: alias: Notify when external ip changes initial_state: on trigger: platform: state entity_id: sensor.dnsip action: service: notify.YOU data_template: message: "New external IP address is {{ states('sensor.dnsip') }}"
Here you go.

If your use case is to access your home assistant from external, I highly suggest cloudflare tunnels. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/new-add-on-cloudflared/361637/10
The "DNS IP" integration will give you your public IP address.
Maybe not the best way, but I set up a Node RED work flow to query the API at ip.me every few minutes for my v4 and v6 addresses, and update sensors in HA.
