Looks like taking a bath is no longer a simple affair these days, not when you have home improvement ideas like the Bath-O-Matic. This device from Unique Automation is a digital bath filler that lowers the motorized plug, fills up the bathtub to a stored temperature of your liking at the correct depth, with the option to spice up the situation by adding some bubble bath and fragrances into the water. The Bath-O-Matic is hooked up to AMX and Crestron systems via RS-232 or TCP/IP, and comes with a touch screen interface for you to key in all the necessary details before you strip down for the day. The $8,000 asking price will probably cause most people to turn away, leaving this to be a plaything of the rich.
