Scientists have created a revolutionary iPhone feature that makes it possible to run a bath before getting home.

The Bath-o-matic software means the phone can send orders to a set of high-tech taps on a bath tub that can control the temperature, pressure and draining of the water.

The software for iPhone is available free from Apple's popular App Store. However, users will have to pay 4,000 pounds for the technology at home.

They will then be able to select the temperature, depth and fragrance of the water and even how many bubbles in the bath.

Unique Automation, the company behind the device, recently showed off its wares at a trade show.

A spokesman said: "At the touch of a button, Bath-o-matic fills the bath to perfection - even adding bubbles and perfumes."

"Bringing full automation to the bathroom at last, this technological breakthrough offers energy and water savings plus flooding and scalding prevention."
