### Speed test data

The "Average Ping", "Downlink Bandwidth" and "Uplink Bandwidth" can be tracked by performing a speed test every 30 minutes.
If these sensor entities are enabled they will first show as Unknown since the first speed test does only happen 30 minutes after the integration loads, previous results will be restored on subsequent restarts.
The speed test interval is chosen to be 30 minutes to not put unnecessary load on the network.
The "Average Ping", "Downlink Bandwidth," and "Uplink Bandwidth" can be tracked by performing a speed test every 2 hours.
If these sensor entities are enabled, they will first show previous results on integration load. The first new speed tests happens 2 hours after the integration loads.
The speed test interval is chosen to be 2 hours not to put unnecessary load on the network and reduce data usage.
