While the ultra-rare discounts we tracked at Crutchfield on the Philips Hue Bridge Pro is sold out (for now, anyway), we also spotted an offer on the seldom discounted Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Twilight Bedside Lamp as well. 

If you’re quick, you can still lock in the extremely rare deal price on the latest Philips Hue Bridge Pro. As part of its wide-ranging May sale event, Crutchfield is delivering a chance to actually save some cash on this thing and you can still lock it in. 

Update 5/12: This rare discounts is still live, but the Crutchfield listing is now marked with a low stock warning.

Deals on the latest Philips Hue Bridge Pro have been rare at best – it was hard to even get at full price for a while there. While it is still out of stock on the official Hue site, it has been readily available on Amazon at full price some time now, and we are catching a rare discount today at just over $79 via Crutchfield. 

Crutchfield has now launched a massive spring/early summer Black Friday in May sale loaded with discounts on everything from the CarPlay/Android Auto in-dash digital multimedia receivers and car speakers it is well known for right through to Samsung smart TVs, up to $1,000 off select Canon cameras and lenses, and Philips Hue offers including a rare deal on the Philips Hue Bridge Pro down at $79.19 shipped. The Crutchfield Black Friday in May sale is now in full swing right here and you can scope it out in more detail down below. 

Update 4/28: This deal at Amazon is now live once again, and the “excellent” condition open-box deal has now dropped another $8 for nearly 40% in savings on the new list price. Details below.

Today Amazon is bringing back the Big Spring Sale price on Google’s latest Nest Cam Outdoor (Wired, 2nd Gen), landing within $1 of the lowest price we have ever tracked there. And we have open-box units at even lower prices than that. Details below.

Update: This deal is now live once again.

Deals on the latest Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) has remained relatively light since release. There have been some solid discounts in the $60 range, but nothing overly deep just yet. As of right now the regularly $280 latest model with the included Nest Temperature Sensor is on sale for $239.99 at Amazon, but Best Buy is serving up a deep $120 price drop on its “excellent” condition open-box units. 

Update 3/25: This deal is now live again as part of the now live Amazon Big Spring Sale.

We have been tracking a steady string of price drops on the latest Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) at 25% off, but Amazon just dropped the Berry red model to a new all-time low at 31% off. 

While the official Google Store and Best Buy are now charging full price, Amazon is remaining particularly aggressive with its discounts on the latest Google Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen) at up to 25% off the list price. 

The Google Store is now offering $20 off all three colors of its latest Nest Cam Indoor (Wired, 3rd Gen), but Amazon is currently undercutting that price on the Berry and Snow White models at 25% off the list price and we have open-box units for even less than that.  

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.
