      Hey guys…

      I’m planning to use MM2 as the main interface for our home automation project already started since 1 year… I would like to show the local IP address somewhere very discret and small at the bottom right…

      Any suggestion?

        one way would be a module with a node_helper something like

        const NodeHelper = require('node_helper');
        const exec = require('child_process').exec;
        
        module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
          socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
            if (notification === 'GET_IP') {
            exec('host raspberrypi', (error, stdout, stderr) => {
             if (error) {
               console.error(`exec error: ${error}`);
               return;
            }
          this.sendSocketNotification('IP', stdout);
        });
        }
          }
        });
        

        stdout will be something like “raspberrypi has address 192.168.1.20”

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          @strawberry-3.141 But, what’s about the screen location ? I didn’t find any builtin position like that…

              @strawberry-3.141 and I will need to handle the text size from the module itself to be very small and discrete!?

                you can add something like .ip-font { font-size: 8px; } in custom.css and use this class for your displaying dom or create an own css file for your module because it’s only module related :)

                  Would you mind making that a module for everyone to use? (and I like the idea of “discreet”
