Speed test

Post by Wibbly » 10 May 2017 19:11

Looking to automate internet speed tests with or without a plugin. Idea is to trigger a router reboot if performance drops below a determined threshold.

Anyone have any ideas or even a sample flow?

Anyone know if timing a download of a known sized file is a good strategy? Perhaps using Automagic's ability to download from Dropbox. Or Goggle Drive? Or using "Download URL" action.

Anone know if any of these actions actually pause the flow until the download is complete?

Hi,

The flow will wait with executing any subsequent actions until the download is complete so you could use the duration it takes and the file size to calculate the speed. Downloads that are executed in parallel will affect the speed of your measurement download so it will not be very accurate.

Regards,
Martin
