How to monitor your internet connection with virtual custom sensors

[bertbigb]

Hi ilpier, nice that you have at least output in the txt file.

ok, please check if all the parameters are OK:

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

If that is the case then change:

curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$username:$password@$host:$port/json.htm type=command&param=udevice&idx=$pingidx&svalue=$ping"

to

curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://Admin:***@localhost:8080/json.ht ... svalue=245"

and lets see if the ping on domoticz then get the value 245

[bertbigb]

of course change the *** to your password

[ilpier]

yes of course i've insert the correct password!
But no,nothing happen in Domoticz with the modify
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://Admin:***@localhost:8080/json.ht ... svalue=245"

[ilpier]

Now Work,reboot and work with first:
curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://$username:$password@$host:$port/json.htm type=command&param=udevice&idx=$pingidx&svalue=$ping"

Thx too much!

I'm really happy with the speed monitoring, it's been running since last year.

@safi
Tanks for the script, i changed it a little bit to use it on my Synology and send the data to my Domoticz Pi. Works great. Now to monitor my Ziggo account so i can complain about the slow speeds.

hi guys, I had it running well on my synology NAS unitll I decided To reinstall my NAS.
is there a chance anyone can help me out how to install it on my nas?
I already put the two files in a folder but I also need to install it am totaly lost.

Thx in advance!

[bertbigb]

Running this on a Synology NAS too, and had it working in matter of minutes.

Synology doesn't have apt-get, so you need to find another way to get the files. I used easy_install, but can't quite remember how I did install that.
Search for easy_install and Synology on the Google.

When someone search how to install on Synology --> this might be helpful
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/speedtest-cli/

Sorry for the late reply

Try this to download speedtest-cli --> https://pypi.python.org/pypi/speedtest-cli/
and follow this wiki --> https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Bash_-_Sp ... monitoring

Let me know where you get stucked when you are not successful, but i think you will

Hi, it is possible send the result of the test with telegram in a bot ?

Yes.

Use the search function, there's alot of information about that in countless threads on how to do that.

Good luck!

hi all, I finally managed to install speedtest on my synology.
when I run speedtest-cli I get results.
but when I try to run the script, it doesn't work.
when I run I get the following errors:

Knipsel2.PNG (13.06 KiB) Viewed 5614 times

Line 2 and line 11 are empty lines.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

#setup
host=192.168.1.21
port=8084
pingidx=3
downloadidx=1
uploadidx=2

# 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
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"

strange thing is that I do get an "output.txt" file, but nothing in domoticz.

can anyone help me out here?

As far as my knowledge goes \r is a dos<=>unix issue.

Please open the file in a good editor and see your CarageReturns and Linefeed at then end of each line.

Hi guys,
I am running this script successfully nowsince 1 year, but yesterday internet connection dropped for 4 hrs (Ziggo storing) and I found out that the last value continues (sensor "last seen" did not change). So, no drop to zero for "download speed" f.i.
What needs to be changed in the script to force a zero value when there is no connection at all ?

thnx, dbfan

Hi freijn,

i am using an exact copy of the script being used(with my own info)
not sure where it goed wrong, Ik keep getting the error.

the result is that I do get an output.txt file but no data is send to domoticz

Grtz

[freijn]

Hi Trigun,

You wrote "(with my own info)" So you did edit the file and therefore changed it.

please read this :
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/186 ... -not-found

or search in Google on your error message : '\r': command not found [duplicate]

What OS system are you using edditing the file?
You could put the ORIGINAL ! file on the domoticz system and start editing using nano.
Doing so I am 100% you will not see this '\r' error again

Cheers,

Frank
