Google Nest Doorbell (Wired)
The Google Nest Doorbell (Wired) is a great smart doorbell option for those already in the Google/Nest ecosystem, or anyone looking for a good Ring alternative. It has a tall camera view for better package-spotting, intelligent alerts, and it’s compatible with existing doorbell transformers. It doesn’t see discounts very often, so even $30 off is notable.
Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen)
The Echo Show 8 is a fantastic little smart display, that hits a sweet spot between the smaller, cheaper Show 5 and the larger, more expensive Show 10. It has an HD display and stereo speakers for enjoying your favorite streaming services, and a built-in 13MP camera for video calls and home security. It can also control all of your favorite Alexa smart devices, and it’s a great deal with today’s $55 discount.
Google Nest Cam (2nd Generation)
The battery-powered Nest Cam would make an excellent addition to your current Google-flavored smart home, as well as a great standalone or starter piece for those that don’t already have a system in place. It gives you live HD video with night vision, motion-activated alerts, and two-way audio, so you can speak directly with pets and visitors. It’s a solid deal at $40 off.
Philips Hue Play Bar
The Philips Hue Play Bar is a really cool smart lighting accessory that can connect both to a Hue Bridge as part of a bigger smart lighting setup and an HDMI Sync Box for dynamic lighting that responds to the image on your TV. It’s perfect for gaming, TV-watching, or mood lighting, and it looks even better with today’s $19 discount.
Eufy Security S230
The Eufy Security S230 made our list for best smart locks in 2023 thanks to its sleek design and extremely user-friendly interface. It has a fingerprint reader, its auto-unlocking is consistent, and it retrofits over most deadbolts. It’s not going to win any awards for battery life or cutting edge features, but it’s a great option at today’s discounted price.
LIFX Color E26 1100 Smart Bulb
The LIFX E26 smart bulb is as bright, colorful and responsive as its more expensive competitors. It works right out of the box — no hub required — and it’s compatible with all major smart home platforms including Alexa, Google, and Apple’s Home Kit. There are cheaper smart bulbs out there, but today’s discount puts the E26 at a nice mid-range price point.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max
There may not be a better bang-for-your-buck in the smart home world right now than the Fire TV Stick 4K Max from Amazon. It’s a powerful streaming device that supports 4K with HDR and Wi-Fi 6, and of course it gives you access to Amazon’s massive ecosystem of apps, movies, and other media. It connects to other Alexa devices for voice control, and unique features like Live View, and it’s just an absolute steal at $26.
