Smart Home

As the years go on, robots are getting more and more advanced and picking up various tasks across home cleaning, pet care, and lawn mowing, though it is fair to say that there is still room for plenty of growth. While we haven’t quite reached the pinnacle as represented in sci-fi media, we’re certainly getting there rather fast, and Segway’s Navimow X4 series robot lawn mowers are taking the lead as the current leader in the robot mowing race. With my parents in their retirement ages (despite not being able to retire yet), and my mother dealing with spinal disabilities over the last few years, in particular, what better time to test out a premium means to keep both medical accidents from occurring and the HOA off their backs?

Over at Amazon we’ve spotted the official meross storefront offering its Smart 18-Circuit Electrical Panel Energy Monitor for $159.99 shipped when you clip the on-page $30 off coupon. When this first landed on Amazon’s shelves back in December it clocked in at $300. In March we saw it drop to $250 which is the price it held at for the longest before seeing some drops into the $180 to $200 range. Today’s offer shaves even more off, clocking in at $160. Learn more about it down below.

Along with the sitewide exclusive bonus savings we secured on a number of Anker eufy security devices and robot cleaners, we also have a specific exclusive code for the brand’s eufy E15 Robot Lawn Mower for $929.99 shipped, after using the code 9T5E15 at checkout, beating the direct website’s current Earth Day sale pricing and Amazon by $20. It’s down from an $1,800 full price, which strangely has climbed as high as $2,300 at Amazon, and with our exclusive bonus savings code the costs are now dropping lower than ever. With this deal, you’ll be getting a $870 markdown to a new all-time low price, beating out the previous $950 low that you’d be paying without our code.

By way of its official Amazon storefront, Govee is offering its Galaxy Light Star Projector 2 Pro down back down at $149.99 shipped. Coming off its $180 full price, we’ve been seeing consistent discounts to $160 and $150 in 2026, beaten out by a one-time $130 low that only appeared in late January. Today’s deal gives you a solid 17% markdown off the going rate, saving you $30 while giving you some galactic-level ambient lighting for your favorite space. You can also find a ton of other smart lighting deals in the brand’s official Amazon storefront here.

Anker is currently having a eufy Earth Day Sale with up to $1,000 initial savings on its wide array of security devices and robot cleaners – plus, we’ve secured an exclusive bonus sitewide savings code 9T52604 for our readers that gives you even better deals, though new releases and some select units are excluded. One notable security option to consider for your home is Anker’s eufyCam S3 Pro 2-Cam Solar Security Camera Kit with a 16GB storage hub at $385 shipped, after using the code 9T52604 at checkout, beating out the original sale pricing and its Amazon pricing by $15. Down from its $550 full price, over the last year we’ve mostly seen discounts drop the cost between $440 and $400, while there was a single fall to the $380 low back during July’s Prime Day event. You’re looking at the next-best price aside from that low from nearly nine months ago, with our exclusive code giving you a combined 30% markdown for $165 savings, while giving you an advanced solar-powered security solution. You can also find larger multi-cam kits on the same landing page, or check out the full Earth Day Sale lineup here – but don’t forget to use our exclusive code!

Over at Amazon, you can find the new Ninja FlexFlame ProConnect 5-in-1 Grill & Smoker down at $1,099.99 shipped with its second-ever discount, which happens to match the price we’re seeing from the brand’s direct website. This new grill and smoker has only been on the market since February, with the first discount having appeared during March’s Big Spring Sale event that saw it taken down from its $1,300 full price to this same rate. Now, you’re getting a second chance at the $200 savings, giving you a more advanced 5-in-1 electric and propane cooking solution for your summer cookouts at the best price we have tracked.

Update 4/16: Amazon has dropped the price even further on this Autel 4-cam Outdoor Wireless Solar Security Camera kit to a new $149 all-time low!

Through its official Amazon storefront, Autel is currently offering its 4-cam Outdoor Wireless Solar Security Camera kit at new $179.58 shipped. Dropping down from a more recent $349 full price (originally $399), since we spotted the first discounts back in December, we’ve seen the price go as low as $189 up until now. While this deal lasts, you’re getting a 49% markdown that cuts $169.42 off the tag, landing it at a new all-time low price. With the 2-cam package down at $139 from its $299 full price, it makes this 4-cam bundle all the better of a deal as you upgrade your home security.

Over at Amazon, you can currently pick up the new ECOVACS Goat A2000 LiDAR PRO Robotic Lawn Mower down at $1,699 shipped. This new model debuted at CES 2026 and hit the market back in February with a $2,000 MSRP, which is where it kept up until the first discount during March’s Big Spring Sale event that saw it fall to this same rate. Now, you’re getting another shot at the best price we have tracked on this more advanced mowing solution, saving you $301 while upgrading your lawncare with LiDAR automation. If you want to save more, you can also find the brand’s Goat O1000 RTK Care Robotic Lawn Mower down at $799 shipped right now.

At Amazon, Beatbot has launched a Pool Opening Sale that can save you up to 40% on a wide array of the brand’s robot pool cleaners. One notable return we’re seeing for a second time is Beatbot’s newest Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner down at $1,199 shipped that comes in a blue or purple colorway. Having just hit the market in mid-February with a $1,499 full price, we currently saw it discounted to $1,349 before the Big Spring Sale event at the end of March when it fell to the $1,199 low. During this sale, you’re getting a second chance at the $300 markdown that returns the costs to its all-time lowest price so far, just in time for you to automate your pool with a more premium option for cleaning during the coming swim season. You can learn more about it below, as well as browse the other robots getting discounts that start from $499.

Through its official eufy Amazon storefront, Anker is offering a Prime exclusive deal on its new C31 Wired Indoor/Outdoor Security Camera for $49.99 shipped, matching the price we’re seeing direct from the brand’s website. This newer model of security cameras has only been on the market for over a month and usually fetches $60 at full price, with the few previous discounts we’ve seen taken things down to $50 or the $48 low we saw during the Big Spring Sale in March, as well as during a short-term Lightning sale last week. If you missed out on those lows, you’re getting the next-best price here that sits only $2 higher. Head below to learn more about it.

In 2024, I began my journey into the world of self-cleaning litter boxes after spending the previous year doing heavy research into the seemingly endless array of brands/models that have flooded the market. At the end of this period, it was Whisker that came out on top, with my partner and me pulling the trigger on buying the Litter-Robot 3 Connect, which happened to be the brand’s first model to include app-based controls. I have since upgraded to the Litter-Robot 4 with the Litter-Hopper attachment, and now, in 2026, I’ve made another upgrade to the newest Litter-Robot 5 Pro (which came out alongside the EVO and standard 5 variations). Head below to get a full in-depth rundown on what you can expect with Whisker’s latest generation of the safest and most popular self-cleaning litter boxes on the market.

Today, ECOVACS – one of our favorite robotic cleaning brands – is unleashing its new newest flagship robot vacuum and mop, the DEEBOT X12 OmniCyclone. 

With spring here and plenty of feathered friends making visits to yards everywhere, Birdfy’s official Amazon storefront is offering the Wooden Smart Bird House with an iron guard and inside camera down at $119.99 shipped. This particular model usually goes for $150 at full price, which we’ve only seen dropped as low as this same rate since 2026 began, beaten out by the $100 low last seen during Christmas sales. Today’s deal gives you another shot at a 20% markdown off the going rate, cutting $30 from the tag for the second-lowest price we have tracked. You can also find the brand’s many other smart birdhouses, feeders, and more by heading over to its official Amazon storefront here.

If you don’t want to shell out the higher bucks for one of Whisker’s newest Litter-Robot models that only released a few months ago, the brand’s official Amazon storefront is offering its Litter-Robot 3 Connect Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Box at $499 shipped in both white and grey colorways. These legacy models are no longer sold directly from the brand’s website, but through Amazon it starts at $549, which has mostly been discounted down at $499 since November, with only occasional spikes back up. Jumping on this deal not only scores you $50 off the going rate at the best price we have tracked to date, but it also comes in $100 under the starting prices on the newer models/bundles direct from the Whisker website.

CES 2026 is in full swing, and we’ve already seen a stunning array of new innovations across a multitude of technologies. Among the many companies revealing their latest upgrades, iGarden, a brand that prides itself on “artful living technology,” has unveiled quite a lineup of new additions, including a trust-centered AI ecosystem, as well as three new flagship products – a pool cleaning robot, an aquatic fitness trainer, and even a new series of robot lawn mowers. Outdoor living has been becoming the latest frontier for smart home integrations in recent years, and iGarden is aiming to position itself at the forefront of this frontier with these next-gen robotics.

Segway is having a very busy morning at CES 2026, as the brand unveiled three new e-bikes (one of which is now open for purchase), while also introducing the world to four of its latest autonomous mowing series – two of which will be opening for pre-orders later this month. These new models have been designed to automate lawn care needs more easily without the need to rely on perimeter wires or antenna reference stations. Navimow has even partnered with RoboSense for select models in this new-generation fleet, integrating solid-state LiDAR tech into the mix, among other innovations. Head below to get a rundown on what you can expect from each of these new series of robots, as well as get upcoming pre-order information for two of them.

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.

Well, it wouldn’t be CES unless there were some new smart autonomous robot helpers on display, and CES 2026 is definitely underway, and there are certainly some new bots on the show floor this year. One of the more compelling models that is looking to help out around the house is LG’s new CLOiD – a robot that can do your laundry, make breakfast, and is designed to effectively double as a smart home butler. 

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.”

My wife and I recently moved into a new home, and it came with your standard, no-frills thermostat. In my case, A Honeywell Home ProSeries that has no wifi or smart features of any kind and is as boring-looking as you can get. It’s also not very intuitive, and programming it feels more tedious than it should.

Our previous home had an Ecobee thermostat that we really liked, but it was a much older (and now discontinued) model and not worth the trouble of removing and reinstalling at our new house. Knowing that we wanted another Ecobee, I thought it was be the perfect time to upgrade to Ecobee’s flagship model, the Smart Thermostat Premium.

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.

This year’s IFA event in Berlin has already given us many new tech reveals, with a bunch of robotic lawn mowers showcased amongst them, but there’s one that is standing out amongst the crowd with its very unique concept design. Coming from MOVA’s sub-brand, NexLawn, we’ve been introduced to the Master X Series Concept, described as “the first robotic mower with a fully functional mechanical arm.” What’s more, this arm isn’t being planned to limit itself only to mowing-related jobs, with more versatility thanks to interchangeable attachments – including pet interactions too! Head below to learn more about this ambitious robot.

Aqara unveiled the long-awaited update to its Video Doorbell G4 at CES earlier this year, and it’s finally here.

Amazon’s Blink smart home brand is announcing and launching its new next-generation Blink Video Doorbell today.

As a country girl from Mississippi, I was never much a fan of camping – for one, because that far south, temperatures and humidity were unbearable during certain times of the year, and for another, because we already lived in a rural area so I would always rather enjoy nature near home and return to the comforts of AC when I was exhausted and dehydrating. It wasn’t until I moved northward, now living in NYC for 17 years, that I came to enjoy the disconnect camping – or even just hanging out all day in a park – could afford. Of course, this usually involves filling and refilling a cooler with more and more ice as the hours went on, which is no longer a problem when introducing an electric cooler into the equation. Enter the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler with its dual-zone compartments, which I’ve been testing out despite New York’s still-chilly spring weather, but will certainly be a useful companion once the recreational baseball season here picks up later this month, running through summer. Head below to read about my experience so far with this all-new model that makes ice runs a thing of the past.
