Speedtest-cli Internet Up-/Downlink Measurement Integration

i tried both but none off them i workinig for me :frowning:

The problem in your last error is the missing acceptance of the GDPR and license agreement.
You need to accept both with the user you‘re using to run the speedtest from your oH instance.

do you know how on windows ? to do that ,the exe file runs fine all to the end both as admin and as user is that it ? and i was asked to write YES both times

Have a look at this example

Speedtest is hilarious

I run from the SAME machine speedtest-cli, and I get 16megabits upload

When it runs in a rule, I get 2mbits to the same server!

Please have a look at my solution to use the Ookla Speedtest CLI instead.

Thank you

I get the following error, I had to add --accept license in the var for the command too but it seems to work which is odd :slight_smile:

Thanks for your work on this tutorial, its great!!!

  1. copied speedtest.py in /etc/openhab2/automation/lib/python/personal
  2. rebooted openHAB
  3. copied your rule
    I get the error:
    2020-10-23 11:38:39.104 [ERROR] [jsr223.jython.SpeedtestPy           ] - Traceback (most recent call last):

Can’t really help you, but i’d guess something wrong with the speedtest script or imports.

I have the same issue.
Where did you get the 1.0.2?

Never mind.
I use now this one, which works fine and supports json output:

@NCO: Could you please provide your .rules to have a look at json parsing from SpeedTest++?

Sure no problem:

// ******* Connection Speedtest ******* //
rule "Speedtest"
when
	Time cron "38 */30 * * * ?" or // every 30 minutes
    Item Speed_Run received command ON
then
	if(Speed_Run.state == OFF) {
		Speed_Run.postUpdate(ON)
	}
    // update timestamp for last execution
    Speed_Date.postUpdate(new DateTimeType())
	var String output = executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/SpeedTest --output json", 90000)
	val String ping = transform("JSONPATH", "$.ping",output)
 	val String down = transform("JSONPATH", "$.download",output)
 	val String up   = transform("JSONPATH", "$.upload",output)
	val float downNum = Float::parseFloat(down) / 1000000
	val float upNum = Float::parseFloat(up) / 1000000
	logInfo("+++ NETWORK", "ping: " + ping + " ms / download: " + downNum + "Mbit/sec / upload: " + upNum + "Mbit/sec")
	Speed_Ping.postUpdate(Float::parseFloat(ping))
	Speed_Down.postUpdate(downNum)
	Speed_Up.postUpdate(upNum)
	logInfo("+++ NETWORK", "--> speedtest finished.")
    Speed_Run.postUpdate(OFF)
end
// ******* Connection Speedtest END ******* //

Thanks!

no worries - that was easy :wink:

Will there be a version for OH3?
It seems that the rules are not running properly. Maybe there are some other issues too.

Just a shot in the dark and untestested (yet), but the executeCommandline option had some breaking change in openHAB 3.

Breaking changes in short:

  • Parameter order has changed
  • Timeout is now in secconds
  • Parameters don’t have to be separated with @@ anymore

So please test the following idea:

Take the example script part:

 // execute the script, you may have to change the path depending on your system
var String speedtestCliOutput = executeCommandLine("/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli@@--simple", 120*1000)

and change the function paramaters as following:

 // execute the script, you may have to change the path depending on your system
var String speedtestCliOutput = executeCommandLine(120, "/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli --simple")

Of course you should transfer any additions or changes you possibly made to this line yourself too. :slight_smile:

Edit:

Please give some feedback if you have tested it and it works.
I will adapt the first post of this tutorial then.

Thank you for that quick reply. I’ve tested your changes, but without success.
I’ve attached you a screenshot with the errors on the bottom.
It seems that there is a problem with the timeout parameter and the section where the string gets splitted into the different output string.

And that’s what the openhab.log says

2020-12-22 10:45:47.489 [INFO ] [el.core.internal.ModelRepositoryImpl] - Validation issues found in configuration model ‘speedtest.rules’, using it anyway:

Did you test the script while ignoring these error messages?
I would not wonder if the language server doesn’t know about this change too…

speedtest-cli --simple is working properly while running it from the cli.
But running the rule via the OH3 gui or the manual start button in basicui isn’t working.
Exec Binding is installed and the command is whitelisted.

It always hangs up at “Messung läuft”. Don’t know exactly where it crashes but i think the command is not executed.

And you have installed that in the location like it is shown in the example?

In my personal rule i am runngin the speedtest command without the /usr/local/bin/ so the path may be different than it is in the example.
(But i am using the ookla varian tsince some time so that may be the deifference.)
