Use Smart Home Technology to Create the Spookiest House on the Block

Getting the house and front yard ready for Halloween has become a tradition that many families enjoy. But did you know that today's smart home technology can give you a leg up on creating the spookiest, most creative, and fun Halloween house on the block? Here are a few ideas to help you to get started:
  • Take a fog machine to the next level! Attach a smart motion detector and unleash fog as trick-or-treaters arrive at your front door.
  • Select an alternative ring tone for your smart doorbell. Howling wolves and blood curdling screams are sure to get a frightening response.
  • Use smart bulbs to create flickering candlelight and eerie blood-red colors or set up a high-tech Jack-o-Lantern that lights up and alters its colors. These smart lighting effects can all be managed through your mobile device, letting you control the action and create a spooky, fun atmosphere.
