Today only, as part of its Gold Box Deals of the Day, Amazon is discounting a collection of smart home gear from popular brands like Aqara, SwitchBot, BN-LINK, and more. With starting prices from $10, shipping is free across the board for Prime members or in orders over $25. Our top pick is the just-released G3 Camera Hub at $87.99. Down from $110, this is the second-best price of the year at $22 off. It comes within $8 of the 2023 low from a few months ago, and is $2 under our previous mention, too. Featuring a 2K sensor that’s limited to 1080p feeds through HomeKit Secure Video, the G3 Camera packs in a Zigbee hub on top of its surveillance capabilities for building out a fuller setup. Over at 9to5Mac, we just took a hands-on look at what the new release from Aqara has to offer, and walked away quite impressed by its ability to create a low-cost HomeKit setup. Head below for more from $10.
If you’re looking for a more affordable way to get in on the Aqara action, its M2 Smart Hub is also on sale for one of the best prices of the year. While you’d more regularly pay $60, the Black Friday savings are delivering a more affordable $47.99 price tag. Arriving as one of the latest centerpieces of Aqara’s smart home ecosystem, its M2 hub connects with all of the brand’s other accessories over Zigbee 3.0. There’s still HomeKit support here front and center, but with a new design that brings Ethernet into the mix for more reliable connectivity. It will also become Matter-compatible in the coming months to allow connected Aqara devices to support the new Matter standard. You can get a closer look in our launch coverage, as well.
Then be sure to go check out all of the other discounts in today’s sale. The savings will only be live through the end of the day, so make sure to act fast and lock-in your new Siri upgrades while you can.
A new work week is now underway, delivering a fresh assortment of price cuts across upgrades for your Siri, Alexa, or Assistant setup. Over in our smart home guide, you’ll find some other ambient upgrades to your space alongside more practical solutions to arming the front door with some extra security and more.
