We are entering the time of year for ghosts, frights and… candies. Halloween is just around the corner, so if you are thinking of decorating your house with many spooky motifs, the occasional scare and a lot of zombie themes, nothing better than using technology to set your home in the most original way. Next, we leave you with some ideas so that you can do it.
Create a terrifying atmosphere with lights
The first thing you will have to do to define a good dark environment is to configure adequate lighting so that everything looks more sinister and dark, and for that nothing better than the smart lights, since with them you can apply specific Halloween themes that will help you give a very striking touch.
For example, with light bulbs Philips Hue You will be able to download Halloween-related preset scenes, which will configure your RGB bulbs with shades orange, violet y reds. If you do not have this type of bulbs, you can manually configure yours with those colors that we have indicated. In the end, it is about achieving a striking setting with the theme colors of the party.
To curl the loop a little more, a proximity sensor will be used to activate the lights and other actions, so if you place one in the garden at home or in a strategic place, you can activate the lights so that they turn on just when someone passes by out there at that time.

Taking advantage of the fact that you can activate sounds with the proximity sensor, you can also launch music lists with theme songs for the moment. On Spotify you will find many, so you only have to search for Halloween in the search engine to find many ready-made lists.
This is a good time to ask Alexa to play these music charts, but you can ask her for other Halloween-related things as well. And it is that the Amazon assistant has some surprises in store for the party for the dead, since you can ask and request related things.
Alexa as emcee
To take full advantage of the wizard's capabilities, one thing you can do is install new skills related to the topic. To do this, all you have to do is go to the Skills section of the Alexa application on your mobile phone and search for the word Halloween to obtain all the results.
One of the Skills that gives the best results is "Halloween Sounds", which returns a large number of sounds and special effects with which to set the house with a simple command from Alexa. To make it easier for you, you could schedule a routine for Alexa to open the Halloween Sounds skill at a specific time or at dusk.
