Got mine sorted. 
I made a very bad mistake . I am working with Team viewer from a remote location. and missed some information on the locations . and fixed it.
picked it up when I sat back and had a deep breath . now its functional
That’s worth a separate announcement thread unto itself.

Im seeing a high internet usage to speedtest related sites running twice a day - is there a way to tone down the test size? windering if this is the 120*1000 in the script?
The 120*1000 is the time-out, not the size of the test size (120 seconds * 1000 milliseconds). AFAIK the test size is automatically determined based on how fast the connection is (faster connection higher payload, slower connection lower payload)
I too had this. Found that if I only run it once a day the usage is halved 
I all seriousness, run it cli to see options but as said, I think its automatic.
Hi,
can’t install the Speedtest, getting this error:
[12:06:13] openhabian@openhab:~$ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

python-setuptools is already the newest version (40.8.0-1).

[12:06:25] openhabian@openhab:~$ sudo easy_install speedtest-cli
sudo: easy_install: command not found
Any advice?
why don’t you try:
sudo apt-get install speedtest-cli ?

Do you dare publishing your code?
Hi there,
today i have a little question that is a bit off topic.
After updating my speedtest server to Debian Buster i got a strange behaviour. The download rates are in the same range as before. The upload rates are dropped significat to about 3 MBit from aboz 25MBit. i tried this on different Buster installations, but this is always the same. On a Debian Stretch installation i measure the full power.
Does anyone else has the same problem?
Thanks Thomas
Thats pretty. Can you share sitemap and graph? 
Hi Allen,
I’ve got the same problem with the speedtest. Could you give me a little bit more information how you fixed this? I’m using shelly and a vpn to ssh into the ubuntu machine with openhab.(when i’am not at home, normally using terminal at home on the mac)
Best regards😁
sent you a message.
will share my files that i used and it works like that for me ?
if you can give me that details i might be able to help.
i use mac and teamviewer if i am of site to connect to my ubuntu server at home.
Regards
