Hi! I wanted to try how the speed test works in relation to the network. In the documentation, in the example there is a line: String Speedtest_Running "Test running ... [%s]" {channel="network:speedtest:local:isRunning"} Perhaps this is a typo and should be like this :? Switch Speedtest_Runnin…

Overall this binding works well for me, assuming I stick with the example server and filename given in the binding documentation. BUT, that server’s in France, so not that meaningful for me. I’d like to use a closer server as a better benchmark of my up/down speeds. I found a list of speedtest serv…

Hej @Dave_Baldwin - I ended up with the same question, when I shifted from speedtest-cli to the binding based network speedtest. The latter shows lower up/download capacity, than speedtest, which seems to automatically choose the closest server (in my case Stockholm) Could you solve your problem an…

[image] Olymp: https://bouygues.testdebit.info/ Hi all, Nice binding, very usefull. For the speedtest, i try the basic thing and it works, but result is very strange as it says my bandwidth is between 2.3 - 2.4Mbit/s (DL). Problem is that i have a 1Gbits connexion (tested and effective at …

Can you monitor your interface load while the test is performed? Is the test really that slow or is the shown result wrong?

Thanks for your response. I monitor the interface all the time, so while the test is performed. (with iftop for this test) I really dont understand why network binding/speedtest is so slow …

Hello, No one else has the same problem ? Forgot to mention my system : raspberry PI4 (1gb interface) with raspbian. After a reboot for another reason, my results are now : 40mb/s (DL) 25 mb/s (UL), still far from real bandwidth.

Thank you @mdnx , the suggested server works fine for me and the numbers seem realistic compared to other (web based) speedtests! However, I got a problem with the returned text from the binding: 2021-02-10 11:14:47.733 [WARN ] [e.internal.SseItemStatesEventBuilder] - Exception while formatting val…

I fixed the warning in my log with floating pattern like: %.2f %unit%

Where did you do that? I’m trying to avoid file configs with OH3 now. So I checked the possibilities when linking the item and see that “Number:DataTransferRate” is the preset. [grafik] I tried changing this to “String”, but still get the same error. Presumably since the channel in the binding is …

You can do it in the UI. I’ve done everything without any .items files in OH3. Go to your item, add meta data, state description, and there is a value for pattern. Paste the given code and it should work.
