Best smart home deals
Speakers
Sonos Move 2: was $429 now $359 @ Amazon
The Editor's Choice Sonos Move 2 is a versatile, battery-powered smart speaker that sounds great both indoors and out. While it's a bit too bulky to carry beyond the backyard, it has both Wi-Fi connectivity (for integrating with a home system) and Bluetooth playback (for listening to music beyond your Wi-Fi's reach). In our Sonos Move 2 review, we said its sound quality, sleek build, and smart features are worth the price of admission.

Security
Ring Video Doorbell Wired: was $64 now $49 @ Amazon
The Ring Video Doorbell Wired works well, produces a quality image and has a slim profile. You'll need a Ring Protect subscription (starting at $3/month) if you want to save recordings. Also, keep in mind that this video doorbell doesn't work with your existing doorbell chime, so you'll need to tack on an extra $34 to purchase a Ring Chime.

Blink Outdoor 4: was $119 now $64 @ Amazon
The Blink Outdoor is a fully wireless home security camera that records video in 1080p, lets you store video locally (or in the cloud), and has a two-year battery life. The Editor's Choice camera holds a spot in our list of the best home security cameras.
Price check: $99 @ Best Buy
Ring Video Doorbell Wired + Ring Chime: was $79 now $69 @ Amazon
This deal bundles the Ring Video Doorbell Wired with the Ring Chime accessory. Pair these two up, and the Ring Video Doorbell Wired will ring like a traditional doorbell.
Kasa Smart Plug Power Strip: was $79 now $44 @ Amazon
Kasa makes some of the best smart plugs we've tested, and 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 energy usage. We named it one of the best smart plugs you can buy.
Arlo Video Doorbell: was $129 now $49 @ Best Buy
The Editor's Choice Arlo Video Doorbell packs all of the features you'd want in a video doorbell, minus the high price tag. It offers 1536 x 1536 video resolution, 180 degrees field of view, and Alexa/Google Assistant support.

Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Cam was $249 now $169 @ Amazon
