Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days is well into its second day, and as was the case yesterday, it remains an excellent time to pick up good deals on great smart home gear. We scoured through deals on video doorbells, robot vacuums, smart lights, smart speakers, and more to gather up some of the best bargains that caught our eye. Check out a full list of all the deals in our main post, and read on for smart home deals. Just know the sale runs through the end of today, October 9th.

Smart speaker and smart display deals

• The Echo Hub is seeing a nice discount to $125, down from $180. This is Amazon’s first bona fide smart home controller, a flat panel designed to be mounted to the wall or popped on a desk. It’s great for quick access to smart home devices like lights, locks, cameras, and music and can double as an alarm panel for your Ring security system. Read my review.
• The Echo Pop smart speaker is back down to $18 at Amazon with a free TP-Link Tapo Smart Color Bulb included, and is a great way to add voice control with Amazon’s Alexa to every corner of your home. Read my Echo Pop review.

• If you want a better sound boost for listening to music and podcasts, the excellent Echo Dot is down to $23. This is a great price for a fully featured smart speaker. Pairing two is a good way to add stereo, and it works well on either side of a bed for some room-filling tunes. You can also buy it with a TP-Link Kasa Smart Color Bulb for $37.97 ($35 off). 

Video doorbell deals

• The Ring Battery Doorbell Plus is down to $100. This is my top pick for a battery-powered doorbell, offering a crisp 1536 x 1536 video resolution along with a head-to-toe view of your porch. You’ll have to pay for a Ring subscription for alerts when there are people or packages at your door, but it’s very accurate with its notifications.

• For a subscription-free doorbell option, the Tapo D225 video doorbell is $20 off, down to $80 at Amazon. It offers free smart alerts for people, packages, and pets and the option of free 24/7 recording if you pop in a microSD card. Otherwise, it’s $2.79 a month for motion-activated recording, about half the price of the Ring subscription. Read my review of the Tapo D225.
• The Aqara G4 Video Doorbell is one of only a few doorbell cameras that works with Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video option, an end-to-end encrypted video storage service. At $89.99 on Amazon (with the on-page coupon), it’s the cheapest video doorbell compatible with Apple, and the battery-powered doorbell can be wired, too. It also works with Alexa and Google Home. Read my review of the Aqara G4.

Security camera deals

• The Blink Outdoor 4 security camera is available at an all-time low of $39.99 ($60 off) at Amazon. The basic 1080p camera continues to deliver all the essentials, including night vision, motion detection support, and two-way video. However, unlike its predecessor, it offers a broader field of view so you can see more of your porch. It also includes onboard person detection, though you’ll have to pay an additional $3 a month for that.
• The Blink Wired Floodlight Camera is down to a new low of $59.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. The 1080p floodlight camera is our top pick if you’re on a budget and comes with a litany of great features, including a pair of 2,600-lumen lights, a 105dB siren, motion detection, two-way audio, and smart notifications if you pay for Blink’s premium subscription. It also works with Alexa and offers local storage (with the $49.99 Sync Module 2 and a USB stick). 

• Ring’s Pan-Tilt Indoor Cam is down to $49.99 ($30 off) at Amazon, which matches its best price to date. The 1080p indoor camera can pan and rotate, allowing you to keep tabs on your pet as it roams about. It also features two-way audio, supports color night vision, and comes with a physical privacy cover for extra peace of mind.

Robot vacuum deals

• iRobot’s Roomba j7 Plus, my previous top pick for the best robot vacuum, is just $400 at Amazon. That’s 50 percent off for a self-emptying robot vac with superb cleaning power and the best obstacle recognition of any brand I’ve tested — meaning it won’t get tangled up in your shoelaces. Read my review of the j7.
• My pick for the best budget robot vacuum, the Roomba i3 Plus, is down to $250 from $550 at Amazon. This includes the self-empty dock, and while the robot lacks the obstacle recognition and mapping of the j7, it’s a true workhorse and will keep your carpets and hardwood floors spotless. Read my i3 review.
• The Eufy S1 Pro is $500 off, down to $999.99 at Amazon. This is a superb mopping robot vacuum that can also self-empty, refill, and clean its long roller mop. Its square-ish design allows it to get into corners more easily, and its wide and long mop tackles hardwood floors quickly and efficiently.

• My pick for a simple budget robot vacuum for tackling pet hair, the Roborock Q5 Pro, is down to just $180 — a savings of $250. Its huge 770ml bin means less manual emptying. It also mops, and dual rubber brushes do a great job of getting up pet hair. Unlike the i3, it features mapping and keep-out zones to keep it away from pet bowls.
• The excellent, if noisy, Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum is on sale for $249.99, 55 percent off, at Amazon. A previous pick in my best robot vacuum guide, this self-empty vacuum is a solid bot. I particularly like that it doesn’t need bags; you can just rinse out the bin.

Smart light deals

• The Philips Hue lighting system is on sale at Amazon this week. The best place to start is with the Philips Hue Smart Light Starter Kit, which has two White and Color Ambiance A19 bulbs and a Hue Bridge. It’s $90, down from $129.99. This is all you need to get going with Hue’s fun, color-changing smart light bulbs.
• If smart switches are more your speed, the superb Lutron Caséta smart switch line is on sale for 17 to 20 percent off. Pick up a starter kit to get the Lutron bridge, which provides rock-solid reliability for your smart lighting and one dimmer switch and wireless remote. Pick between the more classic Diva switch look — $99.95, down from $119.95 — or save some more money with the nontraditional look of the original Caséta switch, with the Lutron Caséta Smart Lighting Kit going for $79.95, down from $99.95. I have these in my home, and they are the most reliable product I own. Read more about smart lighting and the differences between smart bulbs and switches in my guide to smart lighting.

• For some smart lighting fun this holiday season, Govee’s smart curtain lights are 30 percent off. These are a great addition to your holiday decor. I strung them up in my window last year and loved the option to create different animations with the touch of a button. They’re $85.99, down from $129.99 for a one-pack at Amazon, or $167.99 for a two-pack.
• Philips Hue’s Festavia string lights are on sale ahead of the holidays. Decorate your tree with the 130-foot string of indoor / outdoor smart lights for $252, down from $359.99 at Amazon. Read my Festavia review here and learn more about smart holiday string lights in my guide.

Miscellaneous deals

• Amazon is currently selling the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener at an all-time low of $39.99 ($20 off). The device allows you to turn more than 200 garage door models into smart gadgets you can control remotely with an app or your voice, whether you prefer Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri. No subscription fee necessary.

• The Furbo 360° Dog Camera is on sale for $47 at Amazon, down from $99. The rotating 1080p device tosses treats but also tracks dogs as they move around, allowing you to keep tabs on them via your phone. Bear in mind that to start using the camera, you’ll have to pay $6.99 a month for a minimum of three months, after which you can cancel. You’ll still be able to access basic features without a subscription — including the ultra-handy treat-tossing mechanism — but you’ll lose access to premium perks, including home security alerts. Alternatively, if you want to avoid a subscription altogether, you can buy the standalone camera at Amazon for $129 ($81 off).

Update, October 9th: Adjusted pricing and added several new deals, including those for the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery and Eero Max 7 router.
