`update_entity` triggers speedtest when used from a button, but not from an automation (edit: at top of hour) #96441

jason-curtis · 2023-07-12T17:25:04Z

The problem

I can't get speedtest to reliably trigger from an automation running at the top of the hour.
edit: workaround per @JN-Jones: adjust the minute to not be 0 or 30.

Here's my automation config:

id: '1687990373473'
alias: Speedtest
description: >-
  runs a speed test hourly but only if the internet hasn't been in use in the
  last ~minute
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    minutes: 0
condition:
  - condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.xe75pro_kib_s_sent
        below: 500
      - condition: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.xe75pro_kib_s_received
        below: 100
action:
  - service: homeassistant.update_entity
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id: sensor.speedtest_download
mode: single

Here's an example trace from 8am on July 10:

Looks like it worked, right? But when I actually check the data, there is no speed test conducted at that time:

I included the network activity in that view so you can see there was a successful test at 10 AM but nothing happened at 8 AM.

Usage with a lovelace button is working

At the same time, I have a lovelace button set up that successfully triggers a speed test every time:

  - show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    type: button
    tap_action:
      action: call-service
      service: homeassistant.update_entity
      target:
        entity_id: sensor.speedtest_download
      data: {}

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

nothing obvious in the logs. It seems like the `homeassistant.update_entity` fires but then nothing happens. I've tried turning on debug logging.

Same here.
The automation runs smoothly, but doesn't actually update the sensor. Manually triggering the automation does trigger an update.

- alias: Speedtest Check
  id: speed_test_check
  trigger:
    - platform: time_pattern
      minutes: 30
  action:
    - service: homeassistant.update_entity
      data:
        entity_id: sensor.speedtest_download

DarthSonic · 2023-08-17T20:12:19Z

Gott the very same issue in my HA installation. Using Integration reload to get new measurement.

JN-Jones · 2023-08-23T17:46:01Z

Looks to me like this, #85375, #80290 and possibly #89854 are all the same issue, updates at full and possibly half hours fail because of an issue in the underlying cli tool. Moving the update check two minutes after the full hour worked for me.

DarthSonic · 2023-08-24T08:40:54Z

Yes. Triggering every 4 hours on the second minute of the hour works! Thx!

jason-curtis · 2023-08-24T15:10:25Z

@JN-Jones your workaround works for me too so I added it to the issue description, thank you!

It looks like like sivel/speedtest-cli/#796 would fix this, but in the meantime we can just stop hammering the speedtest servers all at the same time!

dirrgang · 2023-09-16T21:29:02Z

Ah, sweet. In the meantime this is how I added randomness to the test:

alias: Speedtest
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time
    at: "01:00:00"
condition: []
action:
  - delay: "{{ (range(1, 5)|random|int) }}:{{ (range(1, 60)|random|int) }}:00"
  - service: homeassistant.update_entity
    data: {}
    target:
      entity_id:
        - sensor.speedtest_ping
mode: single

The workaround seems to work OK but afaik the issue of speedtest silently failing when run on the hour, still exists. <https://optionzero.co>

still relevant; good to have this marked as "open" so that folks can find it and the workaround.
