Speedtestdotnet : Error fetching speedtestdotnet data: Unable to connect to servers to test latency

[Jiraod]

The problem

The problem I can't make the speedtest integration to work. As soon as I install it, I have this error "Retrying setup: Unable to connect to servers to test latency." The log only has one line : "Error fetching speedtestdotnet data: Unable to connect to servers to test latency". And I'm not able to select any server.

Speedtest works perfectly on the other devices I use so it's not a network issue.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

core-2023.3.5

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

I got the lastest version of HomeAssistant and i got the same message "Le flux de configuration n'a pas pu être chargé: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble"

I'm still seeing this issue on the latest version of HA. Even if I can get the integration to work, the same errors pick up again when the automation next calls the service.

Similar on my site. Auto Detect is working. If I choose a server the extension is not longer operating.

Auto Detect is choosing a server in another country. My provider offers a speedtest.net server and it's working perfectly in the browser. Cannot choose the provider's server. Serverlist contains different servers every time I reload the service. Provider's server isn't listed by the extension.

Hello,

Same issue here. A fix would be appreciated !

Thanks a lot.

Try use speedtest cli configuration.yaml

command_line:
  - sensor:
     command: '/usr/local/bin/speedtest --json --secure'
     name: SpeedTest Data
     unique_id: speedtest_data
     command_timeout: 90
     scan_interval: 3700
     value_template: >
       {{
         {
           "ping": value_json.ping,
           "download": value_json.download,
           "upload": value_json.upload
         }
           | to_json
       }}
     json_attributes:
       - ping
       - download
       - upload

  - sensor:

      # TIME_MILLISECONDS: Final = "ms"
      unit_of_measurement: ms
      state_class: measurement
      state: "{{ (states('sensor.speedtest_data') | from_json).ping | round(2) }}"
    - name: 'SpeedTest CLI Download'
      unique_id: speedtest_data_download
      icon: mdi:speedometer
      # DATA_RATE_MEGABITS_PER_SECOND: Final = "Mbit/s"
      unit_of_measurement: Mbit/s
      state_class: measurement
      state: "{{ ((states('sensor.speedtest_data') | from_json).download / 1000 / 1000) | round(2) }}"
    - name: 'SpeedTest CLI Upload'
      unique_id: speedtest_data_upload

      state_class: measurement
      state: "{{ ((states('sensor.speedtest_data') | from_json).upload / 1000 / 1000) | round(2) }}"

also you could make changes in speedtest.py

        urls = [

            'http://c.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers-static.php',

            'http://c.speedtest.net/speedtest-servers.php',
        ]

Try use speedtest cli configuration.yaml

Thank you! It's not quite the same as fixing this integration but at least I managed to make it work. I had to use a slightly different solution though because I wanted to use the last version of the CLI which is a binary executable, not .py file anymore. The final solution I used is described here: https://forum.hacf.fr/t/integrer-speedtest-cli-officielle-a-home-assistant/15436

Yes, your method is just as good. But I like python speedtest-cli because I can edit the list of links from which lists of servers are obtained. And according to my observations, the first link in the list gave me erroneous servers not from my country... and because of this, problems arose with assessing the speed. After I commented out the first link, everything works fine for me.

speedtest-cli speedtest original integration after comment first server link

How do you gain access to speedtest.py file to crmment it ?

[JPFOLLEGOT]

My HA runs on a VirtualBox, and SSH 22222 is almost impossible to configure in such situation, Your patch of speedtest.py would have probably solved my error. "homeassistant.exceptions.ConfigEntryNotReady: Unable to connect to servers to test latency." It is a pitty, but I gave up and uninstalled Speedtest. Thanks.
