Apple has been widely commended for its amazing app store, which allows you to download software.

It has resulted in a slew of apps, from the genuinely useful, to the genuinely useless.

However, Unique Automation has really raised the bar for the lazy consumer with its Bathomatic.

As the name suggests, it lets you remotely run a bath, specifying the temperature, and even how full you want it - all from anywhere in the world.

There's even a shower version, so you can switch the shower on in the morning before walking from the bedroom to bathroom - saving valuable seconds in the process, no doubt.

For the truly lazy, it can also control your in wall bathroom TV, which the same firm will install for you.

The app itself is free, but you'll need to install some gadgetry onto your bath. For those interested, there are more details here - if it's not too much effort to click on the link, obviously.
