Although iPhone 3G home automation apps are nothing new there are some pretty heavy hitting apps on the horizon which are going to make your iPhone 3G into one cool universal remote. This means that you’re going to be turning on your stereo, turning off your TV, adjusting your AC and fetching your newspaper (maybe?) all from your the touch screen of your iPhone 3G.

Recently at the CEDIA expo some developers have been showcasing some of the apps on the horizon. Crestron, one of the developers at CEDIA are demoing one of the more further developed apps. It will allow you to control multiple rooms in your house via Wi-Fi or AT&T data. The best part is that it is a free download.

For the most part these apps are going to be offered for free in iPhone Apps store however some will be charging fees for the usage. But maybe this will be worth it for the pleasure of getting to hear your washing machine turn on when you’re in another room.

Pretty cool stuff, but I’m still waiting for the Rosie the Robot Maid from the Jetsons App.
