The Best Smart Home Devices on Sale During Prime Day

Govee’s line of smart floor lamps is one of my personal favorite lighting fixtures. The slender design allows the lamp to be tucked away into a corner of the room and paint the walls in light. Govee’s app controls the brightness, colors and schedules. There are over 30 preset scenes with color and motion to create immersive effects. This light works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

GE’s Cync devices are some of the easiest smart devices to set up. Once connected, the plugs maintain that connection for reliable use. At only $8, these smart plugs are a steal and can make nearly any plug-in device smart. Plug your favorite non-smart lamp into the Cync Smart Plug, and you can automate when the lamp turns on and off, control it with your voice and more.

Because air quality is so important to our health, you’ll want to make sure the air in your home is as clean as possible. The Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor makes keeping track of the air quality inside your home easy by checking for particulate matter (PM 2.5), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide (CO), humidity and temperature. The device will alert you when air quality degrades, but it can pair with Alexa to give you updates through your smart speakers, on your phone, and even turn on your air purifier or HVAC.

Officially, this model is the prior generation now that the Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) out, but this is still a very good option to consider, especially when it’s nearly $80 off. It’s packed with sensors and learning software to help save energy and keep you comfortable at home without lifting a finger.

Smart lights are one simple way to build a smart home, and the Amazon Basics Smart Bulbs are a perfect choice at only $30 for a 4-pack. These dimmable, soft white lights are 7.5W, equivalent to 60W incandescent bulbs, and don’t need additional hardware to setup. Simply connect them to your Wi-Fi, and you’re ready to start controlling your lights remotely, scheduling them, and controlling them with Alexa.

Philips Hue is one of the most recognizable names in smart lighting, and it’s well-earned. This indoor smart light strip has a soft diffuser over the LEDs to give an even glow for excellent lighting options. Philips Hue includes Bluetooth in this light strip, so you can set it up with or without the Hue Hub.

This price for a high-quality video doorbell doesn’t seem possible, but for Prime Day, it’s exactly what you’re getting. This Blink Video Doorbell lands on our best video doorbell camera list as the best budget option, thanks to its ease of use, compact design and options for local or cloud storage.

I’ve had this camera on my barn for a couple of years now, and the night vision combined with the bright flood lights has been great for scaring off raccoons and opossums from my property. The HD video resolution keeps everything clear, and because it is a plug-in model, I never have to worry about changing batteries or charging it back up.

Since its launch, the Roomba J7+ has been on our list of the best robot vacuum cleaners, thanks to its excellent cleaning power and ability to avoid pet messes. It has fantastic navigation abilities, so it can get your home cleaner faster. While it lacks a built-in mop, it automatically empties the dust bin and features up to 60 days of storage in the base.

The compact Echo Dot is a fantastic smart speaker in its own right, with Alexa onboard to handle your requests and play your music. Controlling your smart home with only your voice seems magical with the Echo Dot, but it becomes even more fun when you add the spooky Jack Skellington shell from “Nightmare Before Christmas.”
