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:
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 ascreen
, using thewatch
command.app.py
is a simple Flask API which allows for visualizing the results. You should run it in the same folder as thespeed.py
script so that it can access the database (it can be in a separatescreen
).
