[Feature] Add service/button to perform router's internal speed test and store results

[Valdorama]

The problem

The official HA SpeedTest integration is fairly unreliable (and I believe it uses the wrong API?). Asus routers have a built-in internet speed test feature:

It would be great if this integration could provide an ability to trigger the router's speed test and store the results. It could be provided as a service or a button, with the most-recent result stored in attributes (download, upload, ping).

Users could then create automations to periodically run the speed test and track performance over time.

Specific device(s)?

None

Firmware type

None

Hello. Yes, this should be possible. I will check it

[Vaskivskyi]

Yes, the feature can be implemented. It might even come in the next version since it does not seem to be complicated

Thanks, that would be much appreciated.

Hello! Is there any way to trigger a new speed test via this sensor/service?

[Vaskivskyi]

Unfortunately, up till now, I didn't manage to make the testing work. Speedtest does not like any "automated" triggering. That's why sensors are not added to the stable integration branch (release) - there is no point yet without the possibility to run the test.

I will post updates as soon as there is any progress.
