Configuration error when I try to add speedtest

1

I am simply adding one line to configuraion.yaml as documented. Why does this produce an error “The following Components and platforms could not be set up” ?

speedtestdotnet:

I even tried installing speedtest-cli in case that was required.
sudo apt install speedtest-cli

speedtest-cli works fine on command line.

That mage implies it needs a server_id: defining a Speedtest server.
That documentation is poor though.

That doesn’t seem to be the problem. Still fails with server id set. Page says server_id is optional.

speedtestdotnet:
  server_id: 4808

message: The following components and platforms could not be set up:

 - speedtestdotnet

Please check your config.

Based on warnings in the docs I probably don’t want it running anyway but I wanted to try it a bit.

Hi, i have a Problem with the server_id:

this is my config:

## SPEEDTEST
speedtestdotnet:
  server_id: 10010
  scan_interval:
    minutes: 5
  monitored_conditions:
    - ping
    - download
    - upload

But in the ouput is this:
Server name Frankfurt
Server country Germany
Server ID 23095
