I have this set up automatically with our smart speaker thing. Whenever it detects someone arriving at home, it plays a jingle from a playlist I set up for the purpose. They are all short - I think the longest is about 30s. They are intros from TV shows and jingles from videogames.
Yess I need to find me an app to connect these things. Maybe something like If This Then That? Or maybe the apple automation app (whatever it’s called) can do this.
I would say glass shatters but would worry about home alarm systems freaking out or just pavloving the kid to not react appropriately to the sound of glass shattering lol
Every time my son hears the first couple lines of "boats and ho's" he goes nuts.
No idea why another dude always walks in at the same time as the music's going, but they've assured me he's just the plumber doing regularly everyday maintenance and the theme song is for me.
Depends on what song, like, girls want to have fun is a great song for your mum to make an entrance with, peaches - fuck the pain away is a different story.
When he's older, you'll have him conditioned and can just play your intro at any tume to watch him get confused. Won't work for long, but those first few times will be golden.
I used to play the Beatles' "Here Comes the S[o]n" on the speakers downstairs when I brought our first child downstairs after naps. My wife thought it was funny the first time, but after that it was all like "please don't stop my playlist for your pun" and I'm like "it's a literal dad joke!"
Now that son is old enough to start his own music and I totally get it. "Hey, I was listening to that!"
Looking over the responses, I'm surprised no one said they'd play "Never gonna give you up." by Rick Astley. I say why not rickroll your family whenever you get back home.
Yeah. Seems cool, but I would prefer to not leave everything that happens in my house potentially exposed through completely unnecessary network traffic.
Perhaps you could do it with Bluetooth, depending on the range of the signal.
