I finally fell for the smart-home mania when I needed to read a few Zigbee climate sensors, and started using Home Assistant. There was no return from it, and I gradually grew the number of sensors and automations. This is all the easier thanks to a very active community site, offering many a recipe and troubleshooting advice. This is where I found a bandwidth monitor based on SNMP metrics that has been functional for a while.
My ISP, Internode (no longer the awesome service it used to be 10 years ago), has become increasingly flaky, silently dropping support for their Customer Tools API. This API was useful to track quota usage in a number of tools, including my own Munin plugin. Because of this, I unwittingly, and without warning, went beyond my monthly quota this month. I had to double my monthly bill to buy additional data blocks to tie me over.
It became obvious that I needed a new way to track my usage. What could be better than HomeAssistant, which was already ingesting SNMP data from the router? I posted my updated solution in the original thread, but thought that it might be worth duplicating here.
