You can simple parse the current URL. This way you can use your full url for example:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html/#/home

and extract from this string the suffix:

/home

which is the current route name.

A simple JS function (that works regardless to your Ember version) will be:

function getCurrentRoute()
{
    var currentRoute;
    var currentUrl = window.location.href; // 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/index.html/#/home'

    var indexOfHash = currentUrl.indexOf('#');
    if ((indexOfHash == -1) ||
        (indexOfHash == currentUrl.length - 1))
    {
        currentRoute = '/';
    }
    else
    {
        currentRoute = currentUrl.slice(indexOfHash + 1); // '/home'
    }

    return currentRoute;
}

Example of use:

if (getCurrentRoute() == '/home')
{
// ...
}
