@David: This is exactly the solution i would prefer 🙂

As i just found out (by reading the OS Manual) you have already built in a function to determine the external ip. When holding B2 and pressing B1 the display shows the correct external ip. So i think it would be easy just to write the gathered value to a specific folder e.g. on a google-Drive or as i mentioned before directly into the OS-Account on opensprinkler.com. It would even be not necessesary to check, wheter this value changes but you could write it every ten minutes or so.

Thanks Pat for your script. Since i don’t leave my pc running all day the script would not run regularly. Especially when i’m on vacation i would like to Access my OpenSpinkler externally without a pc running at home. Since the OpenSprinkler is always running and has the capability to execute scripts i would prefere a solution that runs directly on it.

@Ray: Maybe the script posted by Wokkeltje can be integrated into the code of OpenSprinkler. It does exactly what we need and would make your excellent piece of work even a bit better 🙂

In Germany the common internet-providers cut your DSL-Connection every 24 hours and after reconnection you usually geht a new ip-adress. Even the cable-providers change your IP 2-3 times a week.

Thanks for the interesting post. Unfortunately i do not have an SprinklerPi but the all-in-one OpenSprinkler-Solution. That’s the reason why i can’t run any scripts within the OpenSprinkler. 🙁
