How to monitor your internet connection with virtual custom sensors

[Trigun]

Hi Edko66,

Ok, I got the last part working. but still othing happens within domoticz.
I the domoticz logfile it doesn't seem check on the script for some reason.

is there anything else I need to setup within domoticz besides creating 3 virtual devices?

I installed it through the following.
wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sivel ... est_cli.py

within the CLI it works fine but somehow domoticz is seeing the output

Hi Trigun,

What's the output of the script if you run it manually?

Looks like it looses the location to output.txt.

Specifying that output.txt should be at ~/ and later cat'ing it from there might do the trick

Also, your speedtest package seems to be in the admin folder. Did you schedule this in the crontab for admin as well? Or another user (that might not have permissions on that folder?)

Can you try this? I hope that with the '~' it will place the output.txt to the home-folder of the user you schedule it for, so it wouldn't matter which user you use. Next to that it's more specific to where the output.txt is, might work ...

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#setup
host=192.168.10.21
port=8084
pingidx=8
downloadidx=6
uploadidx=7

# no need to edit
/volume1/homes/admin/Speedtest/speedtest-cli --server 5302 > ~/output.txt
ping=$(cat ~/output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Ping: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
download=$(cat ~/output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Download: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
upload=$(cat ~/output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Upload: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')

#output if you run it manually
echo "ping = $ping ms"
echo "download = $download Mbps"
echo "upload =  $upload Mbps"

curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$pingidx&svalue=$ping"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$downloadidx&svalue=$download"
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$host:$port/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=$uploadidx&svalue=$upload"

Just wanna say thx for your script.
Using it to monitor some issues with my connection -> isp regarding ping times.

Hi safi78,

thnx for you reply!
It perfectly generates an output.txt file in the folder, the data is correct when I compare it to the output in de CLI but for some reason Domoticz is not picking up the values. I have no idea why it isn't working.

Grtz.

Again,

What's the output of the script if you run it manually?

Are you sure your host, port and idx settings are correct? And that you can connect without a password?

ok, this is what I do.
I connect to the CLI run the following command: /volume1/homes/admin/Speedtest/stdomo.sh (without a password)
I get the following result:

It takes long though for the script to finish, even though the results are already in the script.
+ even though there is no ping time, it does show a ping value in the output.txt file, I guess this is due to the fixed server I selected (5302)
I tried using the script you send in the previous reply, but so far no luck.

Grtz.

[safi78]

Can you try again without the '-s' after the 'curl' command?

As far as i can tell, you don't get a ping value (could be another version of speedtest-cli than I use).

And, curl returns it's result after trying to update domoticz, I don't see that here. (could be another version of curl).

Run it again, without the -s and send the results?

[Trigun]

did it.

the result in the output.txt file is as follows:

Knipsel1.JPG (41.23 KiB) Viewed 4863 times

the output from the cli is as follows:

Knipsel.JPG (20.51 KiB) Viewed 4863 times

it cold very well be I got the wrong version.
perhaps you can tell me which one I need for a synology NAS.
do I perhaps need to install a specific version of curl?

Cheers

I got a ping value now
see:

[Trigun]

I don't know what happend, but i re-installed speedtest-cli and re-did the script using your update ~/ and it works!

thanks a lot safi78. much appreciated!!

I doubt if that was your problem, after adding the '--simple' the part to 'get' the data out of the txt was fixed already.

The problem was in your host/user/pass/idx and curl part, you probably changed something there.

Anyway, always glad to help!

If you provide your script also we could hopefully see where the mistake (typo) is. Now we only know it is in line 14

[ilpier]

yes Sorry!
here's the code!

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#setup
port=8080
username=Admin
password=***
host=localhost
pingidx=239
downloadidx=241
uploadidx=240


# no need to edit
speedtest-cli --simple > output.txt
ping=$(cat output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Ping: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
download=$(cat output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Download: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')
upload=$(cat output.txt | sed -ne 's/^Upload: \([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/\1/p')

#output if you run it manually

We need a combined sensor for Internet Upload and Download, like we have combined sensor for Temperature and Humidity, I have about 300 devices in my Domoticz, keeping them as organised as possible is essential!

Hi ilpier,

I think your problem is related to the fact that your windows system doesn't know where to find the several files.
Your speedtest.sh is at C:\Users\andre\Desktop and you run the script from folder C:\Users\andre
But where will the system find speedtest-cli and where should it write output.txt?

That is why in Linux you use something like:
/volume1/homes/admin/Speedtest/speedtest-cli --simple --server 5302 > ~/output.txt

Here it is obvious. The speedtest-cli is at location: /volume1/homes/admin/Speedtest/
The output.txt file is written in ~/ which means in Linux the user directory of the user who is running this script.

I suggest that you put the script speedtest.sh in the same folder as where you put the speedtest-cli and run the script from that location.
Lets see what happens but most likely you will have results.
Good luck.

[ilpier]

Thx @bertbidb,yes,i put .sh in the same folder of speedtest-cli and now,in the same folder i have output.txt with Ping,Download and Upload!
but in Domoticz nothing happen!
