I put a sensor at the end of my sidewalk that would trigger my pumkin lights to come on as well as a loud wolf howl from a set of speakers in my yard. I also had a set of speakers on my porch that would thump a hearbeat as they approached. I then tied my door bell into Opto which would trigger another series of events. Such as the porch lighting turning off, strobing lights that would come on for a second followed by a loud thunder boom from the porch speakers, an air solenoid to pull the door open as a door creek sound came across the porch speakers, and an animated skeleton on fishing string controlled by Opto. All with lasers, fog machine and black lights. I also put a sensor accross the sidewalk to the side of my house that would trigger a hellacius scream followed by a deep evil laugh. Other than that I use my Opto to control my HVAC, security system, misc power throughout the house and my water sprinkling system.    Report
