Luup-ExternalIP

Scope

This is a Luup plugin to record your External IP

Luup (Lua-UPnP) is a software engine which incorporates Lua, a popular scripting language, and UPnP, the industry standard way to control devices. Luup is the basis of a number of home automation controllers e.g. Micasaverde Vera, Vera Home Control, OpenLuup.

Compatibility

This plug-in has been tested on the Ezlo Vera Home Control system.

Features

It supports the following functions:

• Creation a device in UI showing your external IP address
• Updates variables whenever your address changes so you have a record of your previous one.

Still to be added..

• Add a button to refresh IP on demand
• Add addiitonal variable to show other network related information
• other fixes/updates

Imstallation / Usage

This installation assumes you are running the latest version of Vera software.

1. Upload the icon web.png file to the appropriate storage location on your controller. For Vera that's /www/cmh/skins/default/icons
2. Upload the .xml and .json file in the repository to the appropriate storage location on your controller. For Vera that's via Apps/Develop Apps/Luup files/
3. Create the decice instance via the appropriate route. For Vera that's Apps/Develop Apps/Create Device/ and putting "D_ExternalIP1.xml" into the Upnp Device Filename box.
4. Reload luup to establish the device and then reload luup again (just to be sure) and you should be good to go.

Limitations

While it has been tested, it has not been tested very much and may not support other related devices or those running different firmware.
