Adding a Network Meter

[Newer1107]

I want to add a network speed meter right after the memory usage similar to the one you see after you hover over connections, except without the IP.
Does anyone has any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi, you can try updating ~/.config/waybar/modules/network.jsonc as -

    "network": {
        // "interface": "wlp2*", // (Optional) To force the use of this interface
        "format-wifi": "󰤨 {essid}",
        "format-ethernet": "󱘖 Wired",
        "tooltip-format": "󱘖 {ipaddr}  {bandwidthUpBytes}  {bandwidthDownBytes}",
        "format-linked": "󱘖 {ifname} (No IP)",
        "format-disconnected": " Disconnected",
        "format-alt": "󰤨 {signalStrength}%",
        "interval": 5
    },

    "network#net2": {
        "format-wifi": " {bandwidthUpBytes}  {bandwidthDownBytes}",
        "format-ethernet": " {bandwidthUpBytes}  {bandwidthDownBytes}",
        "tooltip-format": "󱘖 {ipaddr}",
        "format-linked": "󱘖 {ifname} (No IP)",
        "format-disconnected": " Disconnected",
        "format-alt": "󰤨 {signalStrength}%",
        "interval": 5
    },

and use network#net2 in ~/.config/waybar/config.ctl to display the network speed.
