Chuck 68a38c39f7 fix(web-ui-info): syntax error and init order crash on fresh install (#312 )

Two bugs that prevented the web-ui-info default plugin from loading:

1. Orphaned `except Exception` at line 203 with no matching `try` —
   caused a SyntaxError preventing the module from importing at all.
   Removed the orphan; the outer try/except already covers the block.

2. `_get_local_ip()` called in __init__ before `_ap_mode_cache_time`
   was initialized, causing AttributeError. Moved AP mode cache field
   initialization above the `_get_local_ip()` call.

Web UI Info Plugin

A simple built-in plugin for LEDMatrix that displays the web UI URL for easy access.

Features

Displays "visit web ui at http://[deviceID]:5000" on the LED matrix
Automatically detects device hostname
Easily enabled/disabled via web interface
Configurable display duration

Configuration

The plugin can be configured in config/config.json:

{
  "web-ui-info": {
    "enabled": true,
    "display_duration": 10,
    "transition": {
      "type": "redraw",
      "speed": 2,
      "enabled": true
    }
  }
}

Configuration Options

enabled (boolean): Enable or disable the plugin (default: true)
display_duration (number): How long to display the message in seconds (default: 10, range: 1-300)
transition (object): Transition settings for switching to/from this display

Usage

The plugin will automatically be discovered and loaded when the LEDMatrix system starts. It will display the web UI URL during the normal rotation cycle.

To enable/disable the plugin:

Open the web UI at http://[your-device]:5000
Navigate to the Plugins tab
Find "Web UI Info" in the plugin list
Toggle the enable/disable checkbox

Device ID

The plugin uses socket.gethostname() to determine the device hostname. If the hostname cannot be determined, it falls back to "localhost".

Display

The plugin displays two lines of text:

Line 1: "visit web ui"
Line 2: "at [deviceID]:5000"

Text is centered horizontally on the display and rendered in white.

Notes

This is a built-in plugin that comes with the LEDMatrix repository
No external dependencies required
The plugin does not fetch any external data - it only displays the local device information
