Hi,
Today i orderd a sony xperia P phone with NFC.
With this option you can start some commands by phone.
My question is, did someone over here implented the NFC system with domotica?

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
