Airhorn Welcome

They walk in the front door. AIRHORN.

Download shortcut⏱ 45s setup

Open this page in Safari on an iPhone. The file goes straight into Shortcuts.

What happens

When their phone joins the home Wi-Fi, the volume goes to max and an airhorn blasts. At most once an hour, so a flaky router can’t make it a siren.

Setup

  1. Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
  2. Long-press it in Shortcuts β†’ All Shortcuts β†’ Rename and call it Wi-Fi Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
  3. Shortcuts β†’ Automation β†’ + β†’ Wi-Fi, pick their home network, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
  4. Run it once now and tap Always Allow on every prompt, or the prank fizzles on a permission dialog later.

Undo

Open Shortcuts β†’ Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut.
