[Developer - Settings Panel] Get homebridge host name in settings panel

Nope

Describe the solution you'd like:
It would be nice if one could get a placeholder for the hostname of the homebridge instance in config.schema.json. Some of my, and I suppose some other, plugins require the user to open a web page supplied by the plugin. If there was a placeholder variable one could have a link to that right in the settings panel. Something like this:

"headerDisplay" : "To set up the server please visit http://%HOSTNAME%:8888/setup-server"

Describe alternatives you've considered:
I looked around if there was something like this already but didn't really find anything. Sorry if this is already existing in some way.

Cheers,
Normen

Done in the next release.

"headerDisplay" : "To set up the server please visit http://${{HOSTNAME}}:8888/setup-server"

hostname is the same value as location.hostname.

Do you have a snapshot of what this looks like now? Can you attach to this thread?

It looks as if you just put the URL in there:
"headerDisplay": "Go to [http://${{HOSTNAME}}:8999](http://${{HOSTNAME}}:8999) to enter the PIN when your TV displays it"
