Home Assistant Integration using Webhooks

[bubtheengineer]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you want to integrate the speedtest-tracker with Home Assistant there's a super simple way to do it using webhooks.
The only thing you need to change are the parts in <>. And create a unique webhook to link the two services together.

You'll configure a webhook in speedtest-tracker under notifications with the following URL:

https://<homeassistant>:<port>/api/webhook/<unique-webhook>

Then you add some template sensors to your HA config.yaml, like so:

template:
  - trigger:
      - platform: webhook
        webhook_id: <unique-webhook>
    sensor:
      - name: "Speedtest Download"
        state: "{{ trigger.json.download / 1024 / 1024 | round(2) }}"
        state_class: measurement
        unit_of_measurement: "Mbps"
      - name: "Speedtest Upload"
        state: "{{ trigger.json.upload / 1024 / 1024 | round(2) }}"
        state_class: measurement
        unit_of_measurement: "Mbps"
      - name: "Speedtest Ping"
        state: "{{ trigger.json.ping | round(2) }}"
        state_class: measurement
        unit_of_measurement: "ms"
      - name: "Speedtest Packet Loss"
        state: "{{ trigger.json.packetLoss }}"
        state_class: measurement
        unit_of_measurement: "%"
      - name: "Speedtest ISP"
        state: "{{ trigger.json.isp }}"
      - name: "Speedtest Result URL"
        state: "{{ trigger.json.speedtest_url }}"

And that's it! After restarting HA, run a speedtest and you'll start seeing the data show up in HA.

*Edited to add the state_class so you get measurement statistics calculated in HA

Instead of defining the state and and unit of measurement couldn't you use the new download/upload_bits_human?

This integration is using the speedtest webhook, and I don't see that data being sent as part of the json body. This is what I receive in HA when the webhook is called:

  json:
    result_id: 31
    site_name: Speedtest Tracker
    isp: Brightspeed
    ping: 8.585
    download: 933175808
    upload: 863484176
    packetLoss: 0
    speedtest_url: https://www.speedtest.net/result/c/<uuid>
    url: http://localhost/admin/results

Also, parsing a string with uom into the HA sensor values is harder than using the int values, afaik.

I completely misread that and thought you were hitting the new API endpoints.
