Greetings, smart home enthusiasts! Halloween is just around the corner, and I thought it’d be fun to share my experience with setting up a spooky lighting automation using my Hue lights. If you’re anything like me, you love the idea of creating an eerie atmosphere without lifting a finger—literally!
Earlier this year, I stumbled upon a fantastic Hue app that synced my lights with music, which was perfect for setting the mood during parties. Unfortunately, I made a rookie mistake by removing the Hue Hub from my setup, and now I’m paying the price! 
I’m on the hunt for a similar solution that doesn’t require the Hub. Have any of you experimented with random flashing lights or color-changing effects for Halloween? I’d love to hear your suggestions!
For those who might be interested, here’s a quick tip: You can create a Halloween-specific scene in your smart home app, complete with dimmed lights, flickering effects, and even some spooky soundscapes. Pair it with a motion sensor, and you’ve got yourself an automatic Halloween ambiance that’ll give your guests a good scare!
Let me know if you’ve tried anything creative this season—I’m all ears!
