The system may comprise a content delivery server, an IoT gateway, and at least one IoT device. The content delivery server transmits the media stream comprising an SFX instruction. The IoT gateway monitors the media stream from the content delivery server; determine the SFX instruction from the media stream; determine, according to the SFX instruction, at least one IoT device which is able to provide at least one special effect corresponding to the SFX instruction; and transmit to the at least one IoT device an IoT device specific command corresponding to the SFX instruction. The at least one IoT device receives the IoT device specific command from the IoT gateway; and provide the special effect according to the command.
