Change unit mbit/s to mbps of Speedtest integration?

Feature Requests

Hi there , can we change unit mbit/s to mbps ( Download/Upload ) of Speedtest ? Thank you so much

No because that would mess up my long term monitoring in InfluxDB. :slight_smile:

InfluxDB data organisation is based on unit and it has a year or so of Mbit/s already.

Also, moving to Feature Requests.

Thank you sir ^^

Sorry, the smiley face means I was joking.

I can quite easily add a second OR query for another unit in Grafana that uses the IfluxDB data.

From a quick Google search Mbit/s or Mb/s are the preferred units though Mbps is often used. There’s probably an RFC about it somewhere but I cant find it.

Any reason you want it as Mbps instead of Mbit/s

You could make a template sensor that just divides the number by 8 and changes the unit of measurement.

I dont think it was a bit vs byte thing. More Mbit/s vs Mb/s as the unit. I could be wrong.

If thats the case, the template sensor would be even simpler :grin:

Customize would be even simpler.

@justintrann You can change the unit easily using this, if all you want to do is change / to p rather than changing bits per second to bytes per second.
