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.
