August Wi-Fi Smart Lock: was $229 now $110 @ Amazon
The August Wi-Fi Smart Lock has been at the top of our best smart locks page for a while, and with good reason. This sleek conversion smart lock replaces the interior portion of your door lock so you can still use your original key if you want to. You can control it and view activity remotely. I appreciate that it automatically locks and unlocks your door when you leave or arrive back home and that it works seamlessly with every major smart home system. This lets you tie it to other smart home devices so it can automatically turn your entryway and living room lights on when you walk in.

Echo Spot (2024) w/ TP-Link Color Smart Bulb: was $104 now $44 @ Amazon
The new Echo Spot (2024) crosses the bridge between the Echo Dot and Echo Show. It lacks a camera, but sports a small basic LCD that displays the time, weather, album cover art, and smart home controls. In our Amazon Echo Spot review, we said it offers a good middle ground for those who want a smart speaker for their bedside with limited distractions. It's now bundled with a free TP-Link Tapo Smart Bulb.

Amazon Echo Hub: was $179 now $124 @ Amazon

Since its launch, Amazon has sold its Echo Hub for $179. So we're naturally excited to see it get a price drop. If you own smart home devices and don't have a control panel for them, this is the deal for you. In our Amazon Echo Hub review we said the Editor's Choice device puts every aspect of your smart home at your fingertips with the ability to connect to thousands of devices effortlessly. 

Google Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd Gen): was $249 now $189 @ Amazon

Google Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd Gen): was $249 now $189 @ Amazon
Google's third-generation smart thermostat packs a highly accurate occupancy sensor; detecting when you're present in a room. It uses this information to automate heating and cooling routines based on your daily activity. This turns down your system while you're away but keeps your home toasty when you need it. It also keeps an eye on your HVAC system to send alerts if something seems off.

Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen): was $174 now $84 @ Amazon

Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen): was $174 now $84 @ Amazon
The newest Echo Show 8 is the best smart display for most people. Its sharp 13MP lens has a wide-angle lens that can center you when you're on video calls. Combining speedy performance, improved speakers and a dedicated smart home hub for Matter and Zigbee devices, this is our favorite smart display Amazon has made yet. It's now bundled with a free TP-Link Tapo Smart Bulb.

Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip: was $80 now $39 @ Amazon
Named one of our best smart plugs in 2024, this surge protector combines six smart plugs into one space-saving strip (with three USB ports to boot). You can control each connected device individually using the Kasa app, Alexa or Google Assistant or buttons on the device itself. Plus you can monitor your energy usage.

Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor: was $69 now $44 @ Amazon

Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor: was $69 now $44 @ Amazon
Keep an eye on indoor air quality in an easy-to-understand score. This gadget sucks in air to break down humidity, harmful particles, and temperature to rate the quality of your environment. You can use it to kick off routines like turning on your Alexa-enabled devices such as air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and fans when the indoor air quality drops too low. In my Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor review, I found that it's sensitive enough to detect even the most subtle changes in the air such as when my dog uses a wee-wee pad or someone's vaping in the room.

Kasa Matter Smart Plugs w/ Energy Monitoring: was $23 now $19 @ Amazon

Kasa Matter Smart Plugs w/ Energy Monitoring: was $23 now $19 @ Amazon
Kasa's compact smart plug plays nice with all of the major smart home platforms including Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Samsung Smart Things. I use mine to control my underbed light strips—when my Echo Spot's occupancy sensor detects motion after 7 PM it turns them on automatically when I enter the room. You can also use these plugs with things like lamps, fans, or even your coffee maker.

Ring Battery Doorbell with Ring Indoor Cam 2nd Gen: was $140 now $79 @ Amazon

Ring Battery Doorbell with Ring Indoor Cam 2nd Gen: was $140 now $79 @ Amazon
Ring's latest entry-level video doorbell comes with Head-to-Toe vertical coverage so you can see packages and faces even when they're right on top of your door. Its 1080p resolution is crisp enough to zoom in and see details like the text on a package placed at your stoop. The new Indoor Cam (2nd Gen) extends monitoring protection into your home with end-to-end encryption.

Ring Stick Up Cam Pro (Battery): was $180 now $89 @ Amazon

Ring Stick Up Cam Pro (Battery): was $180 now $89 @ Amazon
This weatherproof wireless Ring camera has pro-level features that the models above lack. The biggest is 3D motion detection which uses radar to verify motion events and cut down false alerts. It also features Ring's Bird's Eye View feature which animates someone's path on an aerial map of your home. That way you can see where they came from and where they went after they approached. It works well whether you place it indoors or outside so you can swap it around as needed. Plus, it even comes equipped with color night vision and a built-in spotlight, which is impressive for an option under $100.

Sonos Era 100: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon

Sonos Era 100: was $249 now $199 @ Amazon
Sonos' entry-level smart speaker is a triumph of design, ease of use, and sound quality. It sounds much bigger than it actually is, and slips really neatly into any kind of decor that you might have around your house. It also works with Sonos' smart assistant or Alexa.

Schlage Encode Plus: was $330 now $259 @ Amazon

Schlage Encode Plus: was $330 now $259 @ Amazon
The Encode Plus is more expensive than the other smart locks I've tested, but it's also far more durable. It has the highest ANSI rating for locks that can withstand heavy strikes and over 200,000 deadbolt cycles. This model has the same features as the competition but stands above it for its Apple HomeKey support. You can unlock the door just by pressing your Apple Watch (or iPhone) against it.
