Local IP address

[PointPubMedia]

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”

@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 :)

@strawberry-3.141
Would you mind making that a module for everyone to use? (and I like the idea of “discreet”

i will have a look on this later today ;)
