The fastdotcom sensor component uses the Fast.com web service to measure network bandwidth performance.
Currently fast.com only supports measuring download bandwidth. If you want to measure bandwidth metrics other then download such as ping and upload, utilize the [speedtest](/components/sensor.speedtest) component.
By default, it will run every hour. The user can change the update frequency in the configuration by defining the minute and hour for a speedtest to run.
{% linkable_title Configuration %}
To add a Fast.com sensor to your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
Once per hour, on the hour (default):
sensor:
- platform: fastdotcom
Every half hour of every day:
sensor:
- platform: fastdotcom
minute:
- 0
- 30
{% configuration %} second: description: Specify the second(s) of the hour to schedule the speedtest. Use a list for multiple entries. required: false default: 0 type: list minute: description: Specify the minute(s) of the hour to schedule the speedtest. Use a list for multiple entries. required: false default: 0 type: list hour: description: Specify the hour(s) of the day to schedule the speedtest. Use a list for multiple entries. required: false type: list manual: description: Turn manual mode on or off. Manual mode will disable scheduled speedtests. required: false default: false type: boolean {% endconfiguration %}
There is also a service named sensor.update_fastdotcom that you can use to run a fast.com speedtest on demand. You can turn on manual mode to disable the scheduled speedtests.
{% linkable_title Notes %}
- When running on Raspberry Pi, just note that the maximum speed is limited by its 100 Mbit/s LAN adapter.
- This entity will return the maximum measured speed during an 15 second test.
