SpeedTest.net interval modification

Is it possible adjust the interval of how often Speedtest.net check speed?

You can set up a custom polling interval:

…but I believe it uses a lot of resources, so not too often.

@jackjourneyman I’m actually trying to slow it down from the current interval… e.g.: i’d like to have it run once every 5hrs

Take a look at MrSuicideParrot’s SpeedTest Home Assistant Addon. Works very well and you can adjust the interval to your needs by using a plain and simple automation.

I.e.:

  trigger:
    - trigger: time_pattern
      hours: "/5"
  condition: []
  action:
    - action: hassio.addon_start
      data:
        addon: 6b87c29e_speedtest_addon
