You can save a lot of time and energy by automating everyday tasks, using smart items that can do a range of daily duties, handling things as simple as making a cup of coffee to cleaning the floors of your home for you.
Smart technology has seen major advancements in recent years, and new devices are much, well, smarter than their predecessors. We can control many aspects of our lives and homes these days with convenient smart devices by way of an app or our voices. This can save time and effort, but it frequently comes with a significant price tag — which is why it’s helpful to find deals when you can.
If you want to add some smart features to your home but can’t afford a complete overhaul, don’t worry. There are plenty of smart home devices on the market at a variety of prices, whether you’re looking for a single smart plug or to outfit an entire room.
And you don’t have to scour every website on your own for discounts. We can help find the best offers currently available to help you build the smart home of your dreams for less.

Best smart appliance deals
There are so many smart appliances these days. You can use your voice to preheat the oven, adjust your home’s temperature, control your garage door and more.
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.
This Meross smart garage remote allows you to open or close your garage from anywhere using the companion app on your phone or tablet. It’s also compatible with Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant so you can control it using the sound of your voice through other smart devices. Or, you can set a schedule so that it closes at a preset time, or after being open for an extended period. Be sure to click the on-page coupon to unlock the savings.
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.
The Google Store is selling each for full price ($249), but if you buy two, you can take $50 off the pair.
