Internet Speedtest (with Charts and Guages)

README.md

This flow is based on the excellent flow developed by "bloigge". The original flow can be found here: http://flows.nodered.org/flow/b79e4d9cfc4b474b9975a8bb3b80fb64

This flow checks the current Internet Speed and logs the data to various gauges and charts in a UI Dashboard. It runs on the hour of each hour, i.e. 10am, 11am, 12pm etc. It also allows the test to be invoked manually should the user want to do an immediate test from the dashboard.

PreSettings (as per the original instructions):

Install speedtest_cli:

wget -O speedtest-cli https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py chmod +x speedtest-cli

Requires: Node-Red UI (http://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-ui)

Seems to be missing stuff, not sure what node though?
I get these errors when importing:

Imported unrecognized types
ui_chart
ui_text
ui_button
ui_gauge
ui_group

node-red-contrib-ui is installed. on a hunch I even tried node-red-contrib-ui_j but that didn't help either

@ovizii You need to uninstall the node-red-contrib-ui, restart nodeRed and then install node-red-dashboard. Once I did that, everything worked as expected.

@deeppurple speedtest-cli.py has been depreciated and no longer works, the file is now called speedtest.py.
If you could tweak your flow here and on flows.nodered.org it would 'just work'.

I'm using a Raspberry with Raspbian Node Red.

The question is
How do I install Internet Test on Node Red, I would describe how to do the installation.

@DeepPurple77 This link https://raw.github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli/master/speedtest_cli.py doesn't seem to work anymore???
