I would like my Digi Transport WR31 to send a text message to my phone when the IP address has changed using a Python script, I am clueless on writing in Python!

Willing to pay for Python script that will accomplish this task.

Thanks

Hi

Here is a simple piece of code that should work

you will need to include your phone number

from BaseWizard import write\_cli  
from time import sleep

PhoneNumber = “”

Old\_IP = “0.0.0.0”

def get\_ip() :  
–getip = write\_cli(“at\mibs=gprs.0.stats.ip”)  
–splitip = getip.split()  
–return splitip[2]

while True :

–New\_IP = get\_ip()  
–if (New\_IP==“OK”) or (New\_IP==“0.0.0.0”) :  
----print “Waiting for IP Address [”+New\_IP+“]”

–elif (New\_IP == Old\_IP) :  
----print “waiting for IP to Change [”+New\_IP+“]”

–else:  
----print “Changed to [” + New\_IP +“]”  
----result=write\_cli(‘sendsms ‘+PhoneNumber+’ "SITE 1 new IP [’+New\_IP+‘]"’)  
----SMS\_result = result.strip()  
----print SMS\_result  
----Old\_IP = New\_IP

–sleep(5)

not sure why i have had to change spaces to “-”

Recently the script quit working, after update to 6.0.0.6 I realized. had to add a sleep command at beginning of script to delay start.

seems to work but I’m no coder…LOL
