Fast.com

The fastdotcom integration uses the Fast.com web service to measure network bandwidth performance.

Note

Currently, the Fast.com integration only supports measuring download bandwidth. If you want to measure bandwidth metrics other than download such as ping and upload, utilize the Speedtest.net integration.

Enabling this integration will automatically create the Fast.com Sensor.

By default, a speed test will be run every hour. The user can manually run a speed test via the homeassistant.update_entity action.

Configuration

To add the Fast.com integration to your Home Assistant instance, use this My button:

Manual configuration steps

If the above My button doesn’t work, you can also perform the following steps manually:

  • Browse to your Home Assistant instance.

  • Go to Settings > Devices & Services.

  • In the bottom right corner, select the Add Integration button.

  • From the list, select Fast.com.

  • Follow the instructions on screen to complete the setup.

Notes

  • When running on Raspberry Pi 3 or older, the maximum speed is limited by its 100 Mbit/s LAN adapter.
  • The sensor will return the maximum measured speed during a 15-second test.
  • Speed tests consume data depending on your internet speed. Make sure to consider this if your internet connection has limited bandwidth.
