Slow Internet Warning

From time to time ISP fails, and don't deliver the advertised speed. You could get a Fingbox to monitor your speed and provide you with monthly statistics, or you make the monitor yourself.

Instructions: You can read all set up instructions here

Unless your speeds are not in excess of 100Mbps, you will need to use RaspberryPi 4 (or similar with 1Gbit Ethernet) to make sure your results are not hindered by the network interface.

Features:

Google Home, Android, Alexa, and Windows 10 Notifications
Automatic Tweets at ISP (if you are evil 😈)
Retest options to limit false positives
24h Chart

You will need the following nodes:

node-red-contrib-cast (for google home)
node-red-contrib-join-joaoapps (for android)
node-red-dashboard (for charts)
node-red-contrib-alexa-notifyme
node-red-contrib-speedtest

and Join app for Android notifications

Settings

lowspeed set the low limit threshold
handle provide Twitter handle of your ISP to annoy them
defaultspeed promised Internet speed by ISP
tests - number of confirmation tests
