Kasa Smart Plug (2-pack): was $19 now $14 @ Amazon

This deal gets you the Ring Video Doorbell Wired along with the third-generation Echo Dot, which you can use instead of the Ring Chime if a visitor buzzes your door.

Ecobee SmartThermostat: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon
Our favorite smart thermostat overall, this Ecobee model works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri, and even has a speaker and microphone built in, so you can use it with Amazon's and Apple's assistants. But what we really like is the remote sensor that comes with the Ecobee, which lets you monitor and control the temperature far from the thermostat itself.

Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen: was $279 now $229 @ Amazon
The Yale Assure is one of the best smart locks around; it's easy to use, connects to your Wi-Fi, and works with every major smart home platform: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, HomeKit, Phillips Hue and Samsung SmartThings. This deal shaves $50 off its price.

Level Bolt: was $199 now $149 @ Amazon
Looking for a smart lock that completely disappears? The Level Bolt fits inside your existing deadbolt, but enables you to control it from your smartphone or with Ring or HomeKit. This deal takes $50 off the lock's regular price.

myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control: was $29 now $24 @ Amazon
The myQ is our favorite smart garage door opener, and through Black Friday it's discounted by $6 — not huge, but hey, its starting price is only $30. The myQ is easy to set up and control and works with Amazon Key and Google Assistant. Our only complaint is that it doesn't work with Alexa.

Wyze Cam v3 w/Google Nest Hub: was $137 now $69 @ Wyze

Our top fully wireless outdoor budget security camera is 40% off in this Black Friday deal. It's easy to set up, and its batteries will last for up to two years before needing to be replaced. It works with Alexa, and you can view a feed from the camera on a smart display. A great value at this price.

Ring's newest flagship video doorbell is $20 off for Black Friday. It can be wired or run on battery power, and is only one of two Ring video doorbells that can let you know if a package is on your doorstep. You can read our review to see why we gave it 4 stars.

Netgear Orbi Whole Home Tri-band Mesh WiFi 6 System (RBK752): was $449 now $329 @ Amazon
Netgear's Orbi is one of our favorite mesh networking devices; it has a dedicated channel for the base and the satellites to talk to each other, freeing up bandwidth. This deal gets you the base station plus one satellite, which should be more than powerful to cover most homes. Plus, it has Wi-Fi 6, which means it's future-proof for years to come.
