If I am on my local lan I have one IP to HG.  If i am on 3G/4GLTE/etc I have a different one.  I would request a selectable list of some type for the android app.  This would also help for those using multiple HG installations.

Hi,
on my side, I use the DNS :
- on local network : my router and DNS server answer the local IP address
- on internet : I use the service no-ip which resolv the same DNS by the public address

example : homegenie.no-ip.biz :
- on local : 192.168.1.1
- on internet : 80.1.1.1

This solution is a good way to do, because the client of your HG service don't have to think which one to choose ... But I agree if the HG client app could do, it's nice.
Bye

I didn't know you could use a URL since it is labelled "IP Address" in the app.Course, I should have tried too.  Still, it would be nice to not require memorizing IP addresses for those that don't use a dynamic-DNS service.
