This Domoticz plugin was developed on a Raspberry Pi and may work on other platforms also.
This plugin creates and updates 5 Custom Sensors for the next speeds :
- ping shows ping response
- uplink shows the uplink speed
- downlink shows the downlink speed
- upload file shows how fast a single file can be uploaded
- download file shows how fast a single file can be downloaded
The plugin also creates a room with the name you enter for your hardware item.
Updates are done every 5 minutes and each update takes about a minute.
Since this minute would cause a hanging Domoticz the plugin does not get the data it itself. The plugin starts a detached process which gets the data and posts it back. To enable this posting of data please go in Domoticz to Setup > Settings > Local Networks > and add the IP address of your Domoticz host.
The detached process uses speedtest.py from https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli which is installed by this plugin for you.
Before installing make sure that the requests module is installed : sudo apt-get install python3-requests ( When already installed it will skip installation and explain it is already installed )
To install the plugin you need to get the contents in your plugin folder :
On a Raspberry Pi you could :
Start a terminal and go to your plugins folder and the next will get it for you into a speedtest folder :
....../plugins$ git clone https://github.com/JackV2020/Domoticz-Speedtest.git speedtest
later when you want to check for updates you go into the folder and issue git pull :
....../plugins/speedtest$ git pull
To get it into Domoticz restart your domoticz like :
sudo systemctl restart domoticz
After this you can add a device of the Type 'Jacks Speedtest'.
Notes :
Someone made the valid remark that speedtest.sh lines 41..45 contain the default http port number 8080.
When your Domoticz uses a different port number please change that in the speedtest.sh script.
Thanks for reading and enjoy.
