Personally, I believe that the other 'new' RF technology on the new generation of smartphones will be more relevant for home automation.

It's Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy ('BLE'). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy.

NFC has a max transmission distance of 6 cm, while Bluetooth BLE can go up to 50m or so. That in of itself would make it i.m.h.o. more suitable/practical for home automation.
Plus, I think the experienced Home Automation techies will be able to develop their own applications much easier with Bluetooth BLE.

Some inspirational examples of what is possible with Bluetooth 4.0 BLE:

Just my two cents worth
Cheers,
