It has 1.6k installs sharing analytics, works locally and was last updated October 22, 2026. Ookla Speedtest measures internet speed from Home Assistant using the Ookla speedtest command line tool. It runs locally and adds sensors for ping, download, upload, jitter, a bufferbloat grade, the detected provider, the test server, and the time of the last test. Optional sensors report plan compliance against the rated ISP speeds, plus extended latency statistics. Tests can use the closest server, one of the nearest servers, or a manual server ID, with an option to fall back to the closest server when the chosen one is unavailable. They run on a configurable interval with an optional start time, or only on demand through a service, and can be bound to a network interface or source address. Setup and later changes are made in the UI, and the integration comes through the Marketplace. Automatic summary of the README and code of soulripper13/hass-speedtest-ookla.

No vendor cloud in between. - **From the Marketplace**: Installed through the Marketplace, formerly HACS. - **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months. ## Setting it up Install it from the Marketplace and restart Home Assistant, then add it under Settings, Devices and services. ### Configure Ookla Speedtest - **Speedtest Server**: Choose which server to test against. 'Closest Server' automatically selects the nearest server. Servers are sorted by distance. - **Manual Server ID**: Enter a specific server ID number (only used if 'Manual Server ID' is selected above). Find server IDs at speedtest.net/servers. - **Manual Mode**: When enabled, speed tests will only run when manually triggered via the 'run\_speedtest' service. When disabled, tests run automatically based on the scan interval. - **Source Interface**: Optional: Bind tests to a specific network interface name, such as eth0 or wlan0. - **Source IP Address**: Optional: Bind tests to a specific local source IP address, such as 192.168.1.10. - **Scan Interval**: How often to automatically run speed tests. Default is 24 hours. Only applies when Manual Mode is disabled. Lower values will use more bandwidth. - **Start Time**: Optional: Time to align the schedule (e.g., '14:00'). If set, the first test runs at this time, then every 'Scan Interval'. Useful for 'every hour on the hour' (Set 00:00 and interval 1 hour). - **ISP Download Speed (Mbit/s)**: Optional: Your rated download speed from your ISP. Used to calculate 'Plan Compliance %'. - **ISP Upload Speed (Mbit/s)**: Optional: Your rated upload speed from your ISP. Used to calculate 'Plan Compliance %'. - **Enable Extended Latency Sensors**: If enabled, creates additional sensors for detailed latency stats (min/max/iqm) for Ping, Download, and Upload. - **Enable Stability & Compliance Sensors**: If enabled, creates sensors for Plan Compliance % (requires ISP speeds above) and Jitter stats. - **Fall Back to Closest Server**: When enabled with a specific server, each test tries that server first. If Ookla reports it unavailable, the test retries using the closest server. - **Install & Register Lovelace Cards**: When enabled, bundled dashboard card files are automatically copied to /config/www/ookla\_speedtest and registered as Lovelace dashboard resources. When disabled, the card files and resources are removed. ### After setup - **Speedtest Server**: Choose which server to test against. 'Closest Server' automatically selects the nearest server. Servers are sorted by distance. - **Manual Server ID**: Enter a specific server ID number (only used if 'Manual Server ID' is selected above). Find server IDs at speedtest.net/servers. - **Manual Mode**: When enabled, speed tests will only run when manually triggered via the 'run\_speedtest' service. When disabled, tests run automatically based on the scan interval. - **Source Interface**: Optional: Bind tests to a specific network interface name, such as eth0 or wlan0. - **Source IP Address**: Optional: Bind tests to a specific local source IP address, such as 192.168.1.10. - **Scan Interval**: How often to automatically run speed tests.
