In the instructions for connecting my Sparrow wallet to my new UmbrelHome/BTC Node - it says  
" \* \* If you’re already using Sparrow, go to _ **Preferences \> Server** _.

- For _ **Type** _, select _ **Private Electrum** _
- For _ **URL** _, enter your _Electrum Remote URL_."

What is my Electrum URL??? Is this the IP address for Umbrel? (Which, currently is Dynamic, and I worry about this. See other Rqst for help.)

Thanks!

Upd: I just added Electrs… seems it has to sync (as it has a % counter). Then should I be able to connect with IP addr of BTC node OR maybe something provided by Electrs? (Seems to default to “umbrel.local” which doesn’t work. So… IP?)

IP is the only way it works for me
