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
