I made a simple fog machine automated for Halloween, and I did it using some easy to use smart home tech. It's fun to setup and the kids in your neighborhood are going to love this. Enjoy the journey of getting this tutorial video setup and working around your own home, and then you can use tricks like this with other RF gear. This tutorial shows you how to use RF at 433 MHz in North America (USA and Canada), plus it shows you how to program an RF remote into Broadlink's RM4 Pro. We'll also build an Alexa routine with Waits and Virtual Buttons! This is a great DIY Halloween decoration, and you can put this together yourself in just a few days. Stick it outdoors with your other Halloween decorations and let the kids enjoy! Special thanks to Tapo for sponsoring today's video!
