I have now compared this with the last few days and its the same. Home Assistant is quite slower than all of my other devices connect directly to the router via ethernet or wifi.
Do anybody know why? Is it limited by the sd card? Or is the raspberry limited by the power of the processor, cause the ethernet should be a gigabit ethernet?
Specs:
Home Assistant OS 6.1
Core-2021.7.2
Supervisor-2021.06.8
SD Card: Sandisk Extreme Pro
Ethernet cable: 0,5 meter Cat8 40 Gbit cable. (Input on routers lan 2,5 Gbit)
That looks suspiciously like a 100Mb/s link. The Pi4 is capable of Gb Ethernet. And unlike the Pi3B+ it is actually capable of this. Something is limiting you to 100Mb/s. Check the router has negotiated the connection correctly as Gb Ethernet.
To verify that the RPi has negotiated a 1Gb/s connection, you can connect to it with ssh and run ip link to identify your interface’s name (e.g. eth0 or enp0s25). Then run ethtool eth0 | grep Speed.
The speedtest.net integration uses speedtest-cli. See speedtest-cli inconsistency.
Maybe try what speedtest-cli reports on your Mac. (However, I don’t think it would be this far off.)
For speed testing on your LAN, you can use iperf.
If you don’t have ethtool, take a look at dmesg. My contains a message like this: enp0s25: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx (not a RPi though).
Sorry, I have no experience with the Home Assistant operating system, so I can’t help you install iperf.
But there is no reason not to trust your router about the negotiated speed.
I opened a iperf3 server on one of my devices on the network and set up the home assistant to ping there.
Iperf3 using remote server on hassio do not work. There is a list of remote servers for iperf3 (Die Liste der öffentlichen iperf3-Server) but none of them are working with home assistant hassio.
From the iperf3 output you posted, I can’t tell if this is the upload or download speed test. Make sure both are roughly the same speed. (When using the command line utilities, iperf3 -c server does an upload speed test and iperf3 -R -c server does a download speed test.) I want to make sure we aren’t comparing slow WAN download with fast LAN upload.
I randomly chose some servers from the list you linked and it did not work for me either. iPerf servers only seem to allow one connection at a time, so I guess they are all completely overloaded or shut down.
Was there any resolution on this? I’m running a RP4 as well and my speedtest sensor is only returning 45-150mpbs when ethernet connected in. My mac when connected to the same connection is returning 8-900mpbs.
I’m having the same problem. Getting ~100-300 Mbits down on homeassistant on my Pi4, whereas I get >600 Mbits down when I test from my wired desktop. I wanted to use homeassistant to monitor my internet speeds over time, but I guess it will have to be relegated to relative speeds
Edit: running speedtest-cli on my wired desktop actually reveals a strong start with a steady drop down to the average being reported by my Pi. I can run the test in the browser immediately after and get 200-300 more. Maybe this is revealing that some fudging is going on (either by my ISP or speedtest)? Who knows.
Having a similar issue currently. I setup Jeff Geerling’s Internet Pi package for ISP monitoring with Grafana, Prometheus, and Speedtest because I was having issues with my ISP dropping this week. I am testing the connection from my router at 800-900Mb/s, but when the Pi runs its tests, my dashboard is showing only ~200Mb/s. I confirmed my speed and duplex are at 1000/Full on eth0. Not sure where to go from here.
i recently switched from a raspi 3b+ with pihole and homebridge to a Raspi 4 with HA OS + AdGuard.
With this new setup i have super slow downloadspeeds via cable. upload and wifi is fine. everything is up-to-date.
when i switch back to my old setup, everthing works like a clock again.
i’m using a fritz.box router, and HA OS with these versions:
Core 2023.11.0
Supervisor 2023.10.1
Operating System 11.1
Frontend 20231030.1
and sorry for digging out this topic, but my search was unsucessful
