smart-home

Eve is a well known smart home brand around here, with a rather extensive lineup of sensors, outdoor weather stations, light switches, plugs, and a whole lot more, most of which with updated Matter support. At CES 2026, the brand is introducing its very first indoor thermostat to expand its footprint in your home.

CES 2026 is about to officially kick-off and the new product reveals are already starting. Next up, we are taking a look at the latest from smart lighting brand Govee with three new flagship products headlined by its most advanced floor lamp yet and a pair of Sky Ceiling Lights, one of which brings “true-to-life sky illumination indoors.”

During the Black Friday festivities, we caught a rare deal on the latest Level Lock+ (Matter) Smart Lock with Apple Home Key, and it is now live once again down at $249 shipped courtesy of an Amazon Lightning Deal at nearly 25% off the list price. Details await below. 

Update 12/3: Amazon has extended the Black Friday pricing on the 2025 Google Nest gear for what appears to be one more day based on a series of new countdown clocks on the listing pages.

While Amazon does not have official countdown clocks running on the Google Nest Black Friday pricing like it does on the Pixel 10 deals, it does appear as though the deals on the new Google smart home gear that released earlier this year will jump back up in price (Google seems to think it will anyway). Today might be your last shot at the official holiday pricing on the 2025 Nest indoor and outdoor cam as well as Google’s latest 3rd gen doorbell. 

If there was one Black Friday smart block deal I was waiting for it was this one. There is a great deal live on the latest Yale x Nest model for Google Home users, but the latest Level Lock+ (Matter) Smart Lock with Apple Home Key has just dropped to $249 shipped for Black Friday – this is Amazon all-time low pricing and a very rare discount. You’ll also find the more basic Matter model without the Apple Key support (still works with HomeKit) on sale for $199.99 shipped. Details await below. 

As part of its Black Friday Week deals, Amazon is now offering the best price ever on one of our favorite Google Nest-compatible smart lock – the 2025 Yale Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter. Regularly $190 and very rarely ever on sale since it first landed on Amazon earlier this year, you can now land one starting from under $138 shipped for Black Friday. 

While much the early Black Friday and particularly notable Google Pixel deals have come and gone now, along with the new 3rd Gen Google Nest Cam Indoor, we wanted to shine some light on the Google Nest Cam Outdoor. Google released the new wired 2nd Gen model in late September, and it is currently sitting at the all-time low over on Amazon. 

The Google offers have thus far been the real highlight, or at the very least one of them, for the first week of Black Friday month. Not only has the entire Pixel 10 lineup dropped down to its best prices ever at up to $300 off, but we are also tracking a new all-time low on Google TV Streamer 4K, and the first discounts on the new Nest Cams at 25% off. The latter of which is also joined by a series of other Nest smart home deals we are going to be taking a look at her this morning. 

Just after seeing the latest Google TV Streamer 4K drop down to its best price to date this morning, some early Google Black Friday deals are also delivering the firstly notable discounts on the new Nest gear that just released. There are some notable discounts also live on previous-generation Nest gear right now as well, but the real highlights are the up to 25% in savings now live on the Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) at 25% off and the first discount on the brand new 2K Google Nest Cam Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen) down at $119.99 shipped. 

Earlier this month Google officially released its all new 3rd Gen Nest smart cameras, and this morning at Amazon we are tracking the very first notable cash discount on the new Google Nest Cam Indoor. 

Update 11/26: The Philips Hue Bridge Pro is back in stock again directly via the Philips Hue site.

We are just touching down quickly this morning to let folks know the new Philips Hue Bridge Pro is finally back in-stock on the official site. While you can find the new Bridge Pro as part of bundles at retailers like Amazon, scoring it on its own has been tough as of late and you can land it right now straight from Philips if you’re quick. 

As part of the now live Prime Big Deal Days sale, the official ecobee 2025 fall Prime Day deals are now live. Whether you’re looking to get into the brand’s HomeKit-centric smart ecosystem for the first time or expand an existing setup, the official Prime Big Deal Days offers are now live. 

Update: Pre-orders are now live on the Echo speakers and displays:

• Amazon Echo Dot Max $100
• Amazon Echo Studio $220
• Amazon Echo Show 8 $180
• Amazon Echo Show 11 $220

Today could be a big day for the Amazon Devices team as it is set to take the stage in NYC to reveal what appears to be the next-generation of Echo devices (likely some Kindle and Fire TV action too). While much of its current lineup of Echo smart speakers and devices, as well as some Kindles and the Fire TV Sticks are already seeing as much as 50% price drops as part of the early Prime Big Deals Days sale, the next-generation models appear to be on the horizon, and we will know all about them this morning.
