Raspberry Pi remote IP address keeps changing. How to check it remotely.

I tried many tutorials, GitHubs and videos. I couldn’t get any to work with my Pi and Gmail. Brief written instructions lower down.

I also tried to get the IP address remotely from my ring doorbell and tapo smart plugs and failed.

I didn’t want to use a cloud based Remote Desktop with account setup and possible subscription. I’m happy with a Dynamic IP address instead of a static one.
