Full rankings: Home Assistant Cloud alternatives

Why it ranks here

Health score explained

FHEM scores 10/100, #20 of 20 in Internet of Things (IoT): 0 commits in the last 90 days earn 0.0 of 35 points, the absence of a tagged release forfeits all 25 release points, an active, unarchived repository keeps 10 and no advertised Docker image leaves the final 10 unclaimed. That places it in the stale band (below 40). The biggest shortfall is commit activity, worth 35.0 more points.
