The `local_ip` sensor will expose the local (LAN) IP address of your Home Assistant instance. This can be useful when your instance has a static public hostname (for example, if you use the Nabu Casa service), but have a dynamically allocated local LAN address (for example, configured via DHCP).

The sensor can be added via the user interface or using the `configuration.yaml` file. To enable this sensor, via the `configuration.yaml` file, add the following minimal configuration:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
local_ip:
```

To configure via the user interface, select the `Local IP Address` integration.

{% configuration %}

  default: local_ip
