This page was written by Pluto and imported with their permission when LinuxMCE branched off in February, 2007. In general any information should apply to LinuxMCE. However, this page should be edited to reflect changes to LinuxMCE and remove old references to Pluto.
This is Plutohome Wiki, the place where you can find design documents, HowTo documents, Release changelog and more.

What is Pluto?

Pluto is the only solution seamlessly combining:

  1. media & entertainment with a server for music, movies and tv shows, plus a PVR and DVD Player,
  2. a home automation system to control everything in the home with touch-screen tablet and Bluetooth mobile phone controllers,
  3. a phone system with video conferencing,
  4. a security system that feeds you live video on your mobile phone when something happens, and lets you speak to visitors through your stereos, and
  5. a home PC solution.

A typical Pluto system consists of a Core: one PC acting as a dedicated server and interface to all the sub-components. The Core includes our own plug-and-play back-end so it listens for and auto configures all sorts of devices like network audio players (such as Squeeze Box), IP phones and cameras. The Core automatically exposes a network boot for any other PC's or thin clients you want to use as Media Directors, which you hook up to your TV/Stereo's to use as set top boxes, complete with a media player, PVR, video conferencing, intercom, and a GUI to control everything in the home. All Media Directors work together seamlessly as a total whole-house solution.
