Speedtest Integration No longer loading

I’m finding that since the last update that I’m getting a permissions error in the Mosquitto logs - have you seen this?

2022-10-03 17:23:14: New connection from 172.30.33.0:41926 on port 1883.

and the following when I run the shell script manually

Error: The connection was refused.

No issues with the broker or errors for me

Thanks David - something else to go and bang my head against…

I’ve seen some people complaining about mqtt with latest update in another thread but it’s rock solid here.

DrewXT · October 4, 2022, 3:45am

I restarted Mosquitto a few times and it’s working again

No idea what was wrong with it

Its appears that there as a change at speedtest’s end which resulted in @DavidFW1960’s script failing. Not sure if this affects all users or just those within Europe.

The following change fixed it for me;

from:

*# DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE*

speedtest_result=$(sudo speedtest --format=json --accept-license)

to:

*# DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE*

speedtest_result=$(sudo speedtest --format=json --accept-gdpr)

Hope that helps anyone who’s woken up to find that broken

DavidFW1960 · February 5, 2023, 11:24pm

Only Europe I think… no problems here

I think I’d use

sudo speedtest --format=json --accept-license --accept-gdpr

How/where do I make the changes on this. I have lost the service speedtestdotnet.speedtest. If I run the automation it fails because of the service not being available. If I uninstall and reinstall it will update but the automation does not succeed.Has been working for a couple of years without issue.
I am running Home Assistant 2023.2.3 Supervisor 2023.01.1 Operating System 9.5 om a NUC.
Thanks

That service was deprecated in 2022.9 and removed in 2022.11.

If you want to force an update on speed test, use homeassistant.update_entity using the speedtest entities as a target entity_id.

Thanks very much. Now up and running again.

Hi. Are you still using this script? If so, are your test speeds consistent? Mine test between 800 - 400 Mbps download.

DavidFW1960 · January 22, 2024, 1:20am

yes still using

Looks consistent to me

duceduc · January 22, 2024, 11:37pm

Possibly I need to change the server that is closer to me? Is this possible with the script you have provided?

DavidFW1960 · January 23, 2024, 1:56am

you can definitely do that. Check the speedtest Cli commands and edit the script to suit

duceduc · January 23, 2024, 3:35am

hmmm. I have tried variations below and it does not work. It produces no results.

--server 3586
--server-id=3586

speedtest_result=$(sudo speedtest --format=json --server-id=3586 --accept-license)

Try -s 3586 (only 1 -) maybe…

duceduc · January 23, 2024, 5:52am

Yes, did also tried with -s as well. No good.

DrewXT · March 5, 2024, 7:45am

Sorry to bring this back to life, but you need to use --server-id

e.g.

speedtest_result=$(sudo speedtest --format=json --accept-license --server-id=14670 )
