Hey friends!
I’m Tasia and in this video, I’m highlighting the best smart home tech under $100.
If you’re on a budget, listen up!
I’m going to walk you through some of my picks for the top smart home tech, all under
$100.
Now as we go through these, keep in mind that they may see additional discounts during Amazon
Prime Day 2020.
So last week I told you guys about some of the best tech deals on Prime Day, and I wanted
to follow that up with some picks for the best smart home tech under $100.
Because, if you are watching this video the day it comes out, there is less than a week
until Amazon Prime Day.
And not to be a broken record, but some of this smart home tech may see additional discounts
on Prime Day.
I’m including affiliate links for all of the picks mentioned.
And, insert disclaimer: if you buy something using one of the affiliate links below, I
could make a small commission.
So let’s start with smart plugs.
We’ll start first with the Belkin WeMo Mini Smart Plug.
This is one of the items that is on sale already, and I have to say, this is my favorite smart
plug.
It’s designed so you can still use the other outlet.
You can control whatever you plug into it by using your device or your favorite voice
assistant.
My second choice for a smart plug would be Amazon’s.
I gave this guy an honorable mention last week, because of its good everyday price of
$25, but it’s worth seeing if it goes on sale again this year for Prime Day, and it
could get slashed lower than the Wemo.
I’m telling you, smart plugs are so handy to have.
OK, let’s move onto smart speakers.
Specifically, we’ll touch on the Echo and a couple of Google options.
I’m not going to get into which is better here, they both have their pros depending
on your use and the ecosystem you live and work in.
So this one here is the 3rd generation echo dot and it’s already on sale now.
The echo dot wins in my books for certain categories like the music options that come
with a Prime membership.
But, I will also say Google has a great lineup of smart speakers as well, but you can’t
really find them on Amazon.
The new Google Nest Mini is comparable in price to the Echo Dot, or if you want to go
old school like me, you can snag the full-size Google Home for $99.
I have both an echo dot and a Google Home, it really just depends on how you’re going
to use them.
With that said, let’s move on to the best smart lights.
I’m slightly obsessed with the Philips Hue bulbs.
I’m linking to this guy below.
This is a 2 pack, that’s currently 15% off on Amazon.
The Philips Hue bulbs provide you with literally millions of color choices, that you can control
from your device or with your voice.
Being able to change the colors is really fun, so when we have our Halloween parties…
well pre-covid...like remember when we could have people over...anyway, it’s easy to
just change the color of the light, rather than having to replace the bulb itself.
Now if you don’t care about changing colors, these Philips Hue White Ambiance smart bulbs
are also on sale right now too.
These have all the same smart features, they just don’t change colors.
Okay, my last pick is for anyone like me who constantly forgets if we’ve put the garage
door down.
This is the MyQ Smart Garage Door Opener.
When you have this installed, you’ll get alerts when the door is opened or closed.
Plus, you can control your door from anywhere too.
It’s pretty remarkable how cheap this is, and it is slightly discounted already.
