Python Plugin: Speedtest Topic is solved

[capman]

Thanks , i will try this . Strange it worked for http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... 42#p173904

[Xorfor]

I did some rework and removed the check for existence of speedtest-cli. If speedtest-cli is not installed or executable, only an error is available in the log. Latest version available @ https://github.com/Xorfor/Domoticz-Speedtest-Plugin

[capman]

It's working now !!! Thanks 4 your effort Xorfor !

I found an unofficial alternative: https://github.com/zpeters/speedtest
If more people like to have this plugin also working in Windows, I will try to implement this

Any progress on making this plugin working voor windows? I would really like that!

[Xorfor]

@sanderjohan:

Yes, I did some research and testing with the windows based speedtest. But I was not happy with the results. The output was different from speedtest-cli and the results seems too low.

After that I did some more investigation and got speedtest-cli working on my Windows 10 pc. So it should also work on your Domoticz system. However I was not able to test in, because my Domoticz is running on a RPi.
Please try the following steps:

1. If correct, Python is already installed, else you are not able to use the Domoticz Python plugins
2. Op the Command window and type: python -V
This should give you the current Python version
3. Since Python 3.4, also 'pip' is shipped as standard. This tool can be found in <your Python directory>\Scripts
4. Goto C:\...\Programs\Python\Python36-32\Scripts and type: pip install speedtest-cli
5. Probably you get a warning that a new pip is available, but you can ignore this
6. If correct, a speedtest-cli.exe can be found. Type: speedtest-cli --simple
After approx. 20 sec you should get a report

This is as far as it worked for me. I am not able to do further testing. Perhaps you can place the speedtest-cli.exe in the plugin directory? Perhaps other Windows Plugin developers have a suggestion?

Please try above steps, perhaps I can help you.

Hi,

Any idea why I have a log of these in the log?

Code: Select all

2018-03-22 23:01:30.296 Error: Speedtest hardware (16) thread seems to have ended unexpectedly

Basically, the plugin is only working for a few hours and then I have to reboot RPi in order to make it work again.

Thanks
Alex

In the past, I had this same error.

Please update your Domoticz to the latest beta version.

When you are using python plugins, try to use the latest beta version. There is still development done, and the developer are still adding new functionality.

[alexsh1]

Please update your Domoticz to the latest beta version.

I have the latest version V3.9052, but the error still comes up. I have to restart Domoticz another plug-in would not work

[Xorfor]

You can also try to disable/enable the hardware. This will in fact restart the plugin.

I tried it, but this does not help - plugin is still logging the same error message. Only reboot helps

dear developer.

Thanks for this great work..
I use the lua script to..
Only 1 question..
Is the plugin stable?
Or do i need some specific python version or something else.

Or just install and run:-)

[Xorfor]

@Derik:

I am running the Speedtest plugin on 2 RPi's, a production and a development system on the latest Domoticz beta version for weeks and don't have any problem. I am using default Domoticz installations, so no specific Python version.

It only seems that using the Python plugins, it is recommended to use the latest beta version of Domoticz.

mmm did install it on my rpi..
Set the time around 2 hours.
Only the plugin is not working. I see the new device on my domoticz..
Do i need to set the right to 777 or 666 or what is the best chmod?

Did you install speedtest-cli as described on https://github.com/Xorfor/Domoticz-Speedtest-Plugin? Any information in the log?

Any ideas?

@Ventron,

This Python plugin is using a option, which is not available in your Domoticz.
You have 2 options:

1. Update to the latest beta version of Domoticz. If you are planning to use more plugins, this is the recommended option.

or

2. Change the Speedtest plugin:
a. Open the plugin.py in an editor
b. Goto to line 177, the UpdateDevice procedure:

Code: Select all

def UpdateDevice(Unit, nValue, sValue, TimedOut=0, AlwaysUpdate=False):
    # Make sure that the Domoticz device still exists (they can be deleted) before updating it
    if Unit in Devices:
        if Devices[Unit].nValue != nValue or Devices[Unit].sValue != sValue or Devices[Unit].TimedOut != TimedOut or AlwaysUpdate:
            Devices[Unit].Update(nValue=nValue, sValue=str(sValue), TimedOut=TimedOut)
            Domoticz.Debug("Update " + Devices[Unit].Name + ": " + str(nValue) + " - '" + str(sValue) + "' - " + str(TimedOut))

change to:

Code: Select all

def UpdateDevice(Unit, nValue, sValue, TimedOut=0, AlwaysUpdate=False):
    # Make sure that the Domoticz device still exists (they can be deleted) before updating it
    if Unit in Devices:
        if Devices[Unit].nValue != nValue or Devices[Unit].sValue != sValue or AlwaysUpdate:
            Devices[Unit].Update(nValue=nValue, sValue=str(sValue))
            Domoticz.Debug("Update " + Devices[Unit].Name + ": " + str(nValue) + " - '" + str(sValue) + "' - " + str(TimedOut))

The changes are done by removing ' or Devices[Unit].TimedOut != TimedOut' is one line and ', TimedOut=TimedOut' in the next line.

Updated to beta. Now its working like a harm! Thanks

Hi Xorfor, any ideas on this?

https://github.com/Xorfor/Domoticz-PiMo ... n/issues/1

At a particular point last night all plugins stopped functioning. I had installed only the Pi Monitor and Speedtest plugins on the latest Beta (also just upgraded last night).

Looking at the hardware settings, the "type" is now blank and the Pi Monitor and Speedtest hardware types are not listed in the "type" drop down where you add new hardware.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the great tools!

Thanks!

[Xorfor]

@emeyedeejay:

I have no idea what happened with your Domoticz installation! I just updated my development RPi to 3.9117, to see if it also happens to me.

Did you found something in the log?

Try to reboot and see if the hardware is available again.

[emeyedeejay]

Ok thanks.

I've rebooted multiple times, recopied the pluguins over, added them, removed them etc. It's so weird - at 11:02pm they all "just stopped" working.

I'm a total noob with raspbaian/debian/linux/unix and Pis though so I'm sure it's something I did.

I removed the hardware and now can;t add them back as they don't appear in the "type" list of hardware. So odd.

Error Log is totally empty.
