Speed Test

[studiouk]

I would be really good if we can see the internet speed without having to log onto the computer and run speedtest.net

Hi,

I've found this script on reddit which reports back the Download speed:

$a=Get-Date; Invoke-WebRequest http://client.akamai.com/install/test-objects/10MB.bin|Out-Null; "$((10/((Get-Date)-$a).TotalSeconds)*8) Mbps"

You can use this as an automation script and run it on demand from your phone.

For me (Powershell 2 - yes I really must update!!!), this had an error. However, the below works (as a single line)

$a=Get-Date; $web = New-Object Net.WebClient; $web.DownloadString("http://client.akamai.com/install/test-objects/10MB.bin") | out-null; $t = "$((10/((Get-Date)-$a).TotalSeconds)*8) Mbps"; $t

[unchewable]

Trying to get this to work in a automation script for my client portal is this still the best way to do this or is there a updated way. doesn't seem to want to save in the current custom script input option

This appears super old... over 5 years and still no functional way to run a speedtest in Pulseway? The script above simply have no output on phone or mobile. Not sure how it works but would be nice to have this feature to test a remote user's connection occasionaly/manually.

Should I start a new request to have this added?
