Just my two cents. For Version 2.0.2 of /usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli --version,
Changed
speedtestCliOutput.endsWith( “Mbits/s” )
to
speedtestCliOutput.endsWith( “Mbit/s” )
Thanks a lot man. Great script. Worked like a charm just copy & paste. Great work.
Hey guys, I’m a little confused. How do I have to set the cron time to execute this rule one a day at 4 AM?
Time cron "4 0 * * * ?" or
ist that correct?
Thank you

Today I integrated this with my jython rules. Here’s a quick summary:
-
Have JSR223 jython scripting runing: GitHub - openhab-scripters/openhab-helper-libraries: Scripts and modules for use with openHAB
-
Copy speedtest.py from speedtest-cli’s github page to /etc/openhab2/automation/lib/python/personal. I used curl:
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest.py -
Create needed items. I’m using only 3: Download, upload and ping:
Group GrSpeedtest "Speedtest" Number Speedtest_Ping "Ping [%.2f ms]" (GrSpeedtest) Number Speedtest_Down "Downlink [%.2f Mbit/s]" (GrSpeedtest) Number Speedtest_Up "Uplink [%.2f Mbit/s]" (GrSpeedtest) -
Create a rule to run speedtest. Here’s mine:
from core.rules import rule from core.triggers import when from personal import speedtest @rule("Speedtest") @when("Time cron 0 */15 * * * ?") def executeSpeedest(event): def convert(speed): """Convert bits/s to MBits/s""" speed /= 1024 * 1024 return speed s = speedtest.Speedtest() s.get_best_server() s.download() s.upload(pre_allocate=False) results = s.results.dict() download = convert(results["download"]) upload = convert(results["upload"]) ping = results["ping"] events.postUpdate("Speedtest_Down", str(download)) events.postUpdate("Speedtest_Up", str(upload)) events.postUpdate("Speedtest_Ping", str(ping)) #log.info("Download: {0:.2f} MB Upload: {1:.2f} MB Ping: {2:.2f} ms".format(download, upload, ping))
Of course the group GrSpeedtest is persisted with MySQL and visualized with Grafana.
Few notes:
- Script runs every 15min only for testing purposes.
- Log line included but commented out. Create a logger if you want to use this line.
- Memory usage rised ~20% with my 4GB RAM system and in the beginning got few memory errors and garbage collection. Anyhow system seems stable.
Hi there,
A really good idea - unfortunately I’m facing the issue that the measurement is not correct.
A speedtest with www.speedtest.net (on a windows 10 machine connected with LAN) says:
Ping: 111 ms
Download: 50 Mbps
Upload: 9.25 Mbps
… which is correct as I’ve a 50 Mbit subscription
But … command line as well as the speedtest rule on raspberry (LAN) says:
[17:23:53] openhabian@openHABianPi:/usr/local/bin$ speedtest-cli --simple
Ping: 17.89 ms
Download: 13.93 Mbit/s
Upload: 9.05 Mbit/s
Could you please help me with this…
Some ISPs are known to recognize when you go to a speedtest website and make sure you get the best possible results. They don’t always recognize when you use the cli program.
But I don’t think that is happening in this case. You are running this test from an RPi, right? Wired or wireless? Wired should be able to meet 50 Mbps but wireless should get a little better than half that. 14 Mbps still seems low but if you have wireless and not the best signal in that spot 14 isn’t that bad.
Also keep in mind that these tests cause the RPi to download files and the same USB bus is used for writing to the SD card and downloading the file which will slow things down too.
Ultimately, this isn’t something you will find much help for on this forum. It’s a problem with your specific setup/network/ISP and outside of openHAB.
Yes, both devices are wired.
Hi all,
start manually works fine. But it seems that cron triggers some problems:

any ideas how can i solve it?
KR Rene
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Rene
Can you post more of your configuration ? Your exec binding call etc. Other items you have configured?
Hey,
this is a python error, the error is probably not openHAB related.
Might be due to some version dependencies or similar. Please go through the python setup of the toturial again. Only continue with openHAB after the speedtest on linux console works: speedtest-cli/README.rst at master · sivel/speedtest-cli · GitHub
Good luck!

I did the cli installation as is and did not change anything. what do I need to change to get it working.
Note that now Network binding does provide speedtests measurements.

How do I check what mine should be ?
Try to execute the following in the command line:
/usr/local/bin/speedtest-cli --simple
if it’s not working you could try to find the script with locate:
locate speedtest-cli
If the script is located somewhere else, modify the rule to execute the script with the right path
Thank you. found it. just need to get the following sorted.
Think it is permission issue ? I am still learning linx and its commands
2019-07-17 14:11:52.293 [WARN ] [lipse.smarthome.io.net.exec.ExecUtil] - Execution failed (Exit value: -559038737. Caused by java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/share/doc/speedtest-cli" (in directory "."): error=13, Permission denied)
Normally following command should fix that:
sudo chmod +x /usr/share/doc/speedtest-cli
maybe you also have to change the owner of the script to the openhab user with:
sudo chown openhab:openhab /usr/share/doc/speedtest-cli
did run both of the commands .
and tested it. I still come up with the following error
