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
• Phone system with video conferencing
• Security system that feeds live video to your mobile device during a security breach

LinuxMCE builds on the superior networking capabilities of Linux to create a home automation/multimedia/communication network. No other operating system has this capability.

Read more to see all the possibilities that LinuxMCE offers.

Watch the LinuxMCE Video showing a detailed hardware and installation walk-through.
