SpeedTest unavailable

Configuration
1

I have the SpeedTest integration installed and it is unavailable almost all the time. I update the integration manually and it starts working but after a few minutes it is not available again!

A month ago it was working very well, now it’s basically not working for a few weeks now!

any solution?

Hello flequi19,

Are you talking about this?

Did you check if any of the issues listed match your problem, and if not make a new issue?

I use this:


alias: Reload Speedtest if we have stale readings
description: ""
mode: single
triggers:
  - value_template: >-
      {{ now() - states.sensor.speedtest_ping.last_updated >
      timedelta(minutes=180) }}
    trigger: template
conditions: []
actions:
  - data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: sensor.speedtest_ping
    action: homeassistant.reload_config_entry

I have an automation that reloads the integration every hour and it is still not available all the time. It lasts 5 minutes fine.

I’ll try this Automation and see if that resolves the problem with it repeatedly stopping. Thank you for sharing.

Even with automation mentioned above, issue continues to happen. Integration is not reliable. Like others stated, it works out of the gate and then stops updating

Could it be that your connection or the server you test against is unreliable? I checked my automation (the one above) and it fired last 4 months ago. I get stable readings.

Nope. I have uptime Kuma as well as other monitors regularly checking my internet connection

11

But that is not checking the connection to the speedtest server. Try changing it.

12

Oh you mean not my internet connection, you mean the actual speed test server that I selected. I’ve tried several and same outcome. I’ll try another one

13

Same issue with other selected speedtest servers… :thinking::cry:

14

same here:

it worked fine right after installation. After triggering it via an automation it shows the current values for a couple of minutes and then goes to unavailable. Also tried different servers.

That’s not how I expected the integration to work. I am close to hacking some stuff to use the speedtest-cli directly.However, I was hoping that this step did somebody before me and I can safe the time …

any suggestions?

Thank you so much for sharing this orb add-on. I just installed it and I’m loving it so far. I just need to research the privacy and security around it from my own sanity.
