Black Friday deals are coming, but you can improve your home by making it smarter right now — and at a discount, too.

I've dug through a variety of retailers to find big savings like a Roku Express to turn your telly to a smart TV for just $19, 40% off of the latest Ring doorbell at Amazon or more than $50 off of a Vine smart thermostat.

Here are the best smart home deals I'd add to my setup ahead of Black Friday. If that's not enough for you, see this digital sale on PS5 games from $2.
