Ipify.org Public IP Check Integration

This integration allows you to check the public IP of your Home Assistant instance.

This is useful if you want to check if your Home Assistant instance is accessible from the outside and can be used for automations like updating your DNS records after a new IP is assigned.

How it works

Every 5 minutes the public IP is checked and if it changed, the integration will trigger a value change.

This value can be used in automation scripts or displayed on dashboards.

Installation

1. Install this integration with HACS (adding repository required), or copy the contents of this repository into the custom_components/ipify directory.
2. Restart Home Assistant.
3. Start the configuration flow:
   • 
   • Or: Go to Configuration -> Integrations and click the + Add Integration. Select Ipify from the list.
   • If the integration is not found try to refresh the HA page without using cache (Ctrl+F5).
4. Select which IP protocol versions (IPv4 and/or IPv6) you want to check.

ToDo

• Add extra parameter to allow custom interval for checking IP.
• Promote this integration to HACS Default and/or HA Core.
