This paper presents design and implementation of a personal intelligent home media center. The primary goal was to increase the quality of life with the use of ambient intelligence in smart homes. The solution presented here uses client-server architecture with network-attached storage for storing all multimedia contents. Sensors are used to identify person's presence and ambient intelligence techniques to recommend the most suitable multimedia content to end-users. The major advantages of this personal intelligent home media center are speed, intelligence, inexpensive components and scalability. The implementation was done in within one home media center, for the evaluation purposes.
