These smart home promotions from Amazon and Best Buy feature discounts on security cameras, smart locks, thermostats, and more.
Labor Day sales are filled with smart home products, but a mere discount doesn’t necessarily mean something is a good addition to your home. I have narrowed down the current sales from Amazon and Best Buy to six deals that focus on security, climate control, and everyday convenience.
eufy Smart Lock E31
eufy
A smart lock can be a beneficial upgrade even if your home isn't fully equipped with smart technology. Best Buy is offering the eufy Smart Lock E31 for $124.99, reduced from $209.99. It includes fingerprint unlocking, keypad access, app controls, and Matter support, allowing it to integrate with major smart home platforms without committing to one.
Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Plus
Amazon
Amazon has reduced the price of the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Plus by $60 for Labor Day, making it available for $120 instead of $180. The 2K resolution provides a clearer view of visitors and deliveries, and its battery-powered design eliminates the need for wiring it into your home. It’s a straightforward way to start using Ring’s security system.
Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen)
Google
While the discount here isn’t substantial, the Nest Learning Thermostat remains one of the most appealing smart thermostats on the market. Best Buy is selling the fourth-generation model with a temperature sensor for $239.99, down from $279.99. It’s also rated our best overall smart thermostat due to its automated scheduling, larger display, Matter support, and energy-saving features.
Amazon Echo Show 8
Amazon
The newest Echo Show 8 strikes a good balance between a compact smart display and a more prominent presence on your kitchen counter. Amazon has it listed at $149.99 instead of $179.99 for Labor Day. Upon the introduction of the latest Echo Show 8, we noted its redesigned display, enhanced camera, and Alexa+ compatibility. It also serves as a convenient control hub for cameras and other connected devices.
Arlo Pro Outdoor Security Camera 6th Gen 3-pack
Arlo
Best Buy’s three-camera Arlo Pro package is available for $199.99, down from $299.99, providing significantly more coverage than purchasing a single security camera and expanding later. We have previously reviewed this specific Arlo Pro 6 three-camera bundle, which offers 2K HDR video, color night vision, rechargeable batteries, and dual-band Wi-Fi. The $100 savings makes it particularly appealing for those starting with security setups.
eufyCam 3 3-camera system
eufy
The eufyCam 3 bundle is priced much higher than the Arlo kit, but Best Buy is currently offering it at a $205 discount from its usual $599.99 price. This package includes three 4K outdoor cameras, built-in solar charging, and HomeBase 3 for local storage. This local storage option is especially attractive if you prefer to avoid additional monthly cloud subscription costs in your smart home setup.

Google has increased the prices of Nest cameras and doorbells universally.
Component costs have led Google to raise prices across the Nest range. If you were considering purchasing a Nest camera or doorbell soon, it might be worthwhile to check the updated prices. As first reported by 9to5Google, Google has raised prices on nearly the entire Nest security lineup, effective immediately at the Google Store. Most products are now $20 to $30 more, representing an approximately 11% increase overall, with the change affecting all five current camera and doorbell models except one.
Roborock’s new robot vacuum can remove its own mops before cleaning carpets.
Robot vacuums can autonomously clean floors, but they still require a fair amount of maintenance. Brushes can gather hair, dustbins must be emptied, and mops need cleaning and drying between uses. Roborock’s new Qrevo 2 Pro is designed to alleviate some of that upkeep. This robot vacuum provides 25,000Pa of suction, automatic mop removal, tangle-free brushes, and a multifunction dock that can empty its dustbin, refill its water tank, and clean the mops. The Qrevo 2 Pro is set to launch in the U.S. on August 28 for $549.99 as part of an introductory offer; its regular MSRP is $799.99.
