Maybe someone has a good idea for the following question.  
I would like to have a rule that is able to send different messages for thresholds.  
My ISP has three levels of bandwidth: Maximum, Usually and Minimum  
So i´ve got six states, Upload (Min,Normal,Max) and Download (Min,Normal,Max), to measure.  
I already made the checks but i´m not sure what would be a good way to write a rule for this.

Edit: Ok so here´s what i did. I´m pretty sure there´s a “better” or much simplier way to do this and i´m happy if someone has a optimized version.

Ok clearly, not being a programmer I’ve done something wrong, I thought I copied and pasted the code ok, and the command line speedtest creates no issues but I get a Java error

Please put all your code between ````php` and `````  
Currently i don´t see a speedtest error.

Sorry can never remember how to get the text in those scrollable windows

Code:

```php
// Global Variables
//
val String filename = "speedtest.rules"
val String ruleId = "Speedtest"
val Number calc = 125000 // Converting from bits to Mbits
//
rule "Speedtest init"

        if (SpeedtestSummary.state == NULL || SpeedtestSummary.state == "")
            SpeedtestSummary.postUpdate("⁉ (unknown)")
    ]
end
//
rule "Speedtest"
when
    Time cron "0 0 7/4 1/1 * ?" or //every 4hrs from 7am
    Item SpeedtestRerun changed from OFF to ON or
    Item SpeedtestRerun received command ON
then
    logInfo(filename, "--> speedtest executed...")
    SpeedtestRunning.postUpdate("Measurement in progress...")

    // update timestamp for last execution
    SpeedtestResultDate.postUpdate(new DateTimeType())

    // execute the script, you may have to change the path depending on your system

    var speedtestCliOutput = executeCommandLine(speedtestExecute, 120*1000)

    // for debugging:

    //logInfo(filename, "--> speedtest output:\n" + speedtestCliOutput + "\n\n")

    SpeedtestRunning.postUpdate("Data Analysis...")

 if (speedtestCliOutput.startsWith("{\"type\":\"result\",") && speedtestCliOutput.endsWith("}}"))
    {
        var ping = Float::parseFloat(transform("JSONPATH", "$.ping.latency", speedtestCliOutput))

        var float down = Float::parseFloat(transform("JSONPATH", "$.download.bandwidth", speedtestCliOutput))
        down = (down / calc)
        SpeedtestResultDown.postUpdate(down)

        var float up = Float::parseFloat(transform("JSONPATH", "$.upload.bandwidth", speedtestCliOutput))

        SpeedtestResultUp.postUpdate(up)

        //val img = url + ".png"
        //SpeedtestResultImage.postUpdate(img)

        SpeedtestSummary.postUpdate(String::format("ᐁ %.1f Mbit/s ᐃ %.1f Mbit/s (%.0f ms)", down, up, ping))

        SpeedtestRunning.postUpdate("-")

        // update timestamp for last execution
        val String ResultDate = "" + new DateTimeType()
        SpeedtestResultDate.postUpdate(ResultDate)
    }
    else

        logError(ruleId, "--> speedtest failed. Output:\n" + speedtestCliOutput + "\n\n")
    }
    SpeedtestRerun.postUpdate(OFF)
end

```

As I said I cut and paste it

The code you copied is only part of the rules file…you are missing quite a bit of it from the top. You need to make sure you got it all when you copied and pasted.

Not missing just didn’t copy it. (edited) I put logInfo’s in to see where the code was stopping, code falls through until the "first var ping = "

I think your cron part is not correct.  
Please try it without the cron part and if that‘s working check the cron part.

Cron is ok, literally I used my old speedtest-cli script and it always worked

Anyway this is manually running I’m testing and you can see it runs from the original log output

Ok, because i only see this kind of errors when something with timers or cron isn‘t correct.

I‘m not sure what openHAB wants to tell you with this line:

I just opened this in Visual Studio Code again and now I get this error

```
"Type mismatch: cannot convert from BigDecimal to float",

```

It seems to be complaining about the calculations

down = (down / calc) & up = (up / calc)

Should calc be defined as a Float?

Ok, there is something fundamentally different with my system, I deleted my speedtest.rules and only used your code and same result.

I’ll need to delve deeper…

I played around with the values a lot before posting my solution and this was the only working combination.

Edit: I changed the timestamp update to use the timestamp from the json instead of an `now` function.

Make sure you installed the JSONPath transformation.  
If th eJSONPath transform is not installed openhab throws this error, because the rule engine can’t handle the input string.  
Edit: @Bredmich you should add the requirement of having the JSONPath transform installed.

Thanks for the hint!  
I didn´t know that the JSONPath Transformation wasn´t part of the base installation of oH.

Edit: Added JSONPath Transformation to the requirements

Regarding `--accept-license --accept-gdpr`

I think some people may have problems because OH runs it as ‘openhab’ user.  
Solution would be `sudo -u openhab speedtest` and then accept agreements.

Then there should be no issue with it. I hope it may help someone.

Thanks for the info!  
I added a note to use the openhab user for the initial speedtest.
