Home automation System Monitor and Speedtest Dashboard Tutorial using Home Assistant
This is a basic home automation tutorial for how to setup a home automation system dashboard which monitors both internet speeds as well as the Home Assistant host computer. This is great for finding out how much of a load is your home automation placing on the Raspberry pi, which can help you decide if you need to upgrade the amount of processing power you're using to manage your home. In addition, this does speedtest.net measurements every hour and charts it to help troubleshoot and monitor internet performance.
This is a beginners tutorial so the focus is on how to set things up, and the dashboard, while powerful, is relatively simple. However if you choose to build a more complex one, the steps in this video should cover you with whatever information you'd need.
