I’m sure anvil.server.context.client.location could help with this, since a pc or phone logged in on an anvil page connected to the same wifi as the pico should have the same location information as the pico.

Storing anvil.server.context.client in data table

What I’m trying to do: Log some user activity and store the contents of anvil.server.context.client. I’m primarily interested in the IP address, but there are situations where that field won’t exist, so I figured I’d save all the client data and analyze it later. What I’ve tried and what’s not working: Converting to dict did not work, e.g. dict(anvil.server.context.client). The object is not iterable. Using the client directly gives me a not-serializable error. Using vars did not work, e.…
