Your guide to a smarter home!

Overview

LinuxMCE 0810 The most up-to-date Final Release :: This is the recommended version for a stable, functional system. If unsure as to which version to go for, make it 8.10.
LinuxMCE 1004 Alpha :: Considered to be "bleeding edge". Give it a try if you are able to fix problems alongside the developers.


LinuxMCE is the only all-in-one open source solution that seamlessly combines:
  • Media & entertainment with a server for music and video, plus a PVR (like TiVo or Sky+)
  • Home automation to control everything from lights to heating with a touch-screen tablet or your mobile phone
  • VoIP based Phone system
  • Security system that feeds live video to your mobile device during a security breach
