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 config by defining the minute, hour, and day for a speedtest to run.
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
More examples:
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: True or False to 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.
Note
- When running on Raspberry Pi, just note that the maximum speed is limited by its 100 Mbit/s LAN adapter.
