Best Smart Home Deals: Save on Lighting, Speakers and More

Kasa is a brand we like a lot; it makes some of the best smart plugs on the market. These small plugs can be stacked in the same receptacle or used elsewhere around your house. Using the free Kasa app, you can automate the plugs by setting a schedule or control them from anywhere with ease. 

These plugs are compatible with Apple HomeKit to integrate into your Apple ecosystem (including use of Siri). Plus, these plugs can also be easily controlled using Google Assistant, Alexa and IFTTT routines with no additional hub being required.

You can't just use any smart plug outside -- you need to buy one that's specifically meant to be used outdoors. This smart plug from Kasa is rated IP64 for weather resistance and has two plugs that can be controlled individually. It has a built-in cord to make it easier to plug into outdoor receptacles and works with Alexa, IFTTT and Google Assistant.

Smart bulbs are a great way to change the look of a room by adding a splash of color. You decide when the lights come on and off, and how bright they get. You don't need to add a hub to use these, but they work with both Alexa and Google Assistant for voice commands.

Save on this Philips Hue color bulb at Amazon. You can choose from 16 million different color options within the app to instantly change the look and feel of your spaces. The bulb can be controlled using the app or your voice, depending on your preference. Just note that Philips Hue bulbs do require the use of a separate hub. 

It seems as though companies are adding Alexa and Google Assistant support to just about anything, including microwaves. This countertop model offers support for Amazon's Alexa to reheat your food, add cooking time and more, but it does not support Google Assistant. You'll still need to use your hands to load it with food, though maybe one day we'll have a smart robot that can do that for us, as well.

The Nest Learning Thermostat can control the temperature from anywhere via the Nest app on your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Within a week of setup, the thermostat starts programming itself to the temperatures you like. And Away mode automatically switches to an energy-efficient temperature when you're not home. 

Google is also offering a bundle deal where you can save $50 when you purchase two at a time. 

Adding a smart lock will save time and effort getting in or out the door. It locks as you leave your house and unlocks as you arrive at your door when you have your smartphone in your pocket or bag, and it responds to voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant. You can use the fingerprint ID or a code to get in, as well as several other options. You can also make temporary codes for guests and keep track of who's entering your home via the app. It is also IP65-rated dust- and weatherproof, so you won't have to worry about extreme weather. Plus, it's easy to install and doesn't require drilling or wiring. Just be sure to activate the on-page instant coupon to get the full discount.
