Josh Halloween Sample Scene

To bring this supernatural experience to life, you’ll need a sound system or speaker connected to your Josh.ai system, along with a compatible motion sensor. Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating this chilling scene:

Open the Josh App on your smartphone.

Select the “Scenes” tab.

Tap the ‘Add Scene’ button at the bottom.

Choose a default name or craft your own custom name.

In the scene editor, add an announcement in the proper room followed by your MP3 link of choice: “Announce briefly in the entryway [https://joshdotai.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ghost-voice-halloween-moany-ghost-168411.mp3]"

This will unleash a spooky sound through your speakers. Feel free to choose a different location within your home or a different sound altogether that suits the mood.

Next, you’ll need to set a trigger for this scene. Since you’re utilizing a motion sensor, click on the “Trigger” tab and choose “Automated Triggers.”

From the available options, select “When a sensor state changes.”

Pick the motion sensor in the room(s) where you have programmed this scene to run.

Save the trigger settings and run the scene.

Now, whenever an unsuspecting trick-or-treater passes by that room’s motion sensor, the corresponding speaker will unleash your selected sound. To further enhance the experience, consider adding lighting effects, perhaps setting the lights to an ominous 10 percent orange glow while the sinister sounds fill the air. Your Halloween guests are in for a spine-chilling treat that’s sure to leave them breathless!
