How many modules are working

[mgustin]

I just installed MM on a Pi 4 - no issues. Default modules are ok, added Ecobee that was good, added Yahoo finance and that was good, but then just about any other I tried it didn’t work. iFrame modules don’t seem to work (any of them), flight tracking, and a few others then I decided after installing then removing close to a dozen I thought I would ask - how much is actually working. Most of the repo’s are over a year since last update, others are years.

@mgustin nobody tracks modules working.
they are all voluntary submissions.

no commitment to maintain

As long as it works properly, there is no need to update it just to look “active”

“Working or not” implies various cases, not a simple reason.

• Worked before, but not now, due to obsoleted/deprecated dependencies.
  • Some might be fixable easily with a tiny effort. (e.g. install a few recent/alternative dependencies)
  • Some might need the whole restructuring, and the module owner seems to have abandoned it; <= It can be said that “Not Working”
• In some cases, A user is just misusing the module. For example, incomplete installation, wrong configuration, mistypes, missing preparation, choosing the wrong module that is not fit for the purpose, etc.
• And there are many (yes, maybe too many) equivalent/alternative modules you can try. Cheer up.
