[OH3] New Binding - Speedtest

Add-ons Bindings
143

The binding uploaded to market place received some additional improvements and incompatible changes:

  • rebased to openHAB 3.4.0 Snaphot
  • channel names in lowerCamelCase
  • introduced UOM
  • improved Docu
144

When I try to install speedtest, as per Ookla’s instructions for Debian (rpi 4), I get errors:

openhabian@openhabian:~ $ sudo apt-get install speedtest
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package speedtest

The previous steps were all successful.

Please advise. Thx!

145

Solved!
I downloaded the Linux armhf binary from the bottom of the Ookla instructions page, ran speedtest once to accept the T&Cs, stop/started the speedtest binding and it’s now Online!

146

I am getting the same result

The repository is setup! You can now install packages.

Speedtest Binding is not working for me. The Thing stays UNKNOWN.
Please help

147

did you run sudo apt update before running sudo apt-get install speedtest
according to the error message the package was not found. Reason for this might be that the package indexes were not updated locally.

I am having this problem as well

Just did a test on a Debian Bullseye VM - not a Pi and it worked.

Folder /var/lib/apt/lists/ should contain two files. Their names start with packagecloud.io_ookla_speedtest-cli_debian_dists_bullseye_* .

One of the files is called packagecloud.io_ookla_speedtest-cli_debian_dists_bullseye_main_binary-amd64_Packages on the VM - the Pi version has a different name.
That file contains the information about where to find the speedtest package on the remote server:
pool/bullseye/main/s/speedtest/speedtest_1.2.0.84-1.ea6b6773cf_amd64.deb

Is this information available in your case, too ( will look slightly different for a Pi ) ?

I have nearly the same setup. DS918+, docker. But openHAB 3.3 and it is unable to find the speedtest executable.

I am running the binding installed through the market place.

Trying this I end up in an error command not found
image

I was able to run the speedtest using a SSH session.

  • Speedtest is placed in /usr/bin/speedtest - or do I need a folder /usr/bin/speedtest where I place the speedtest file into?
  • access rights are pretty “forgiving”
  • execPath from the binding is empty execPath: ""

image

How can docker access those folders? Do I need to mount something?

Also I am not 100% sure which user is used to startup my OH container. I accepted the licence aggreement now with user admin, openhab and docker.

Hello,

since speedtest version 3.4 I install under openhab 3.3 as follows:

Copy org.openhab.binding.speedtest-3.4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar to openhab/addons
Copy the Speedtest program to /usr/bin

Adding to Docker Compose:

version: '2.2'

services:
  openhab3:
    image: "openhab/openhab:3.3.0"
    container_name: openhab3
    restart: always
    network_mode: host

    volumes:
      - "/volume1/docker/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro"
      - "/etc/TZ:/etc/timezone:ro"
      - "/volume1/docker/openhab/addons:/openhab/addons"
      - "/volume1/docker/openhab/conf:/openhab/conf"
      - "/volume1/docker/openhab/userdata:/openhab/userdata"
      - "/volume1/docker/openhab/speedtest:/usr/bin/speedtest" // <- <- <- <- <- <- Add this entry to the file

    environment:
      OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT: "xxxxx"
      OPENHAB_HTTPS_PORT: "yyyyy"
      CRYPTO_POLICY: "unlimited"
      EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS: "-Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -Duser.timezone=${TZ}"
      USER_ID: "9001"
      GROUP_ID: "9001"
      LC_ALL: "de_DE.UTF-8"
      LANG: "de_DE.UTF-8"
      LANGUAGE: "de_DE.UTF-8"

  frontail-openhab:
    container_name: "frontail-openhab"
    restart: unless-stopped
    image: "welteki/frontail-openhab"
    ports:
      - "9001:9001"
    volumes:
      - "/volume1/docker/openhab/userdata/logs:/openhab/userdata/logs:ro"

After that everything should work again.

root@DS918:/usr/bin# ll -s speedtest
2560 -rwx------ 1 root root 2613400 Nov  6 04:24 speedtest
root@DS918:/usr/bin#

Works like a charm. I was unable to see any effect placing the speedtest jar in openhab/addons. The thing was missing it’s handler.

So I reinstalled the Ookla speedtest binding through Marketplace again and added the mounting of the speedtest file as described by you using the standard Docker GUI.

This solved my issue:
/volume1/docker/openhab/speedtest:/usr/bin/speedtest

154

In case a message appears the next time you restart the container, I recommend moving the “speedtest” file to /volume1/docker/openhab/.

155

Sorry, I have same issue of @DivineJimmi and there not two files indicated by @Wolfgang_S , how I can to install speedtest on RPI Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)?

156

Download application from its site:
https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.2.0-linux-armhf.tgz
and copy extracted binary executable file in: /usr/bin/speedtest
