Simple project to continuously measure the bandwidth of your home Internet connection

Bandwidth Monitor

This projects allows to continuously monitor the bandwidth of your home network and visualize the results over time. It can be useful to make sure that your provider gives you what you pay for!

Ideally, you could make this run on a raspberry pi at home, plugged on your box via Ethernet.

The project is made of two parts:

1. speed.py, which will measure the bandwidth and store the results in a sqlite3 database, every time you run the file. For a very simple setup, you could make it run every N minutes from a screen, using the watch command.
2. app.py is a simple Flask API which allows for visualizing the results. You should run it in the same folder as the speed.py script so that it can access the database (it can be in a separate screen).

Environment

pip install speedtest-cli
pip install plotly
pip install flask

TODO

Prune sqlite3 db.
