Can FBX expose local IP addresses to the web?

Support

I have some automation controllers that have a built in web server to serve an html page for monitoring, control and set up via a web browser.

They’re all set up with individual local IP addresses such as 192.168.1.5, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.20 and so on and I can access those IP addresses from any PC here that connects via ethernet or my WiFi. That includes the FBX machine.

I’m using dynu.com to route a domain name to my fbx.

Is there a way to connect to these local IP addresses through an FBX app or service?

The controllers will output xml state and accept xml commands so I don’t necessarily need a graphical browser.

Off course having access to the built in web server of the main controller for a GUI would be nice too.

This vaguely looks like a use case for the Home Assistant app. The app is not available in the stable release yet. But I don’t know enough about your devices or the Home Assistant app in general to say for sure.

Truer than you know since these automation controllers can also communicate in Modbus.
