Halloween Hacks for Your Smart Home
This Halloween, get into the spirit of the holiday with smart home technology from Mountain Alarm and Alarm.com. Enjoy peace of mind while passing out all those goodies. (Or enjoying them yourself.) Here are some fun and functional Halloween hacks to enhance your interactive security system.
Get Spooky Lighting with Outdoor Smart Plugs
Make your outdoor Halloween setup as seamless as possible with outdoor smart plugs. Control your Halloween lights, animatronics, and inflatables directly from the Alarm.com app. No need to venture out into the chilly autumn air to unplug your decorations before calling it a night. Simply turn them off with the push of a button. For even more convenience, have your system shut things down for you with automated Scenes.
Set Hauntingly Good ‘Scenes’
With Alarm.com Scenes, you can automate multiple smart devices simultaneously. Imagine a ‘Halloween Scene’ that dims your overhead lights, turns on eerie purple lighting and closes your shades. For an extra haunting touch, integrate Sonos audio to play some Halloween classics or eerie sounds when the Scene is activated.
Pause Your Video Doorbell During the Sugar Rush
Treat yourself with this trick: Pause Video Analytics Recording Rules. During trick-or-treating hours, you’ll likely get an overload of doorbell notifications and saved clips taking up storage space. Pause Video Analytics Recording Rules puts the notifications on pause so you can focus on the festivities.
Illuminate the Night with the Camera Floodlight
As tiny Dracula and Frankenstein head to bed, it’s time to protect your home from any late-night mischief. A Floodlight Camera does the trick, standing guard against things that go bump in the night. With six light settings, high-quality video, and two-way audio, the Camera Floodlight will protect your home during the Halloween’s witching hours and all year long.
