This is a handy way device to turn one outdoor outlet into two, as well as add app-based smart controls to the mix for remotely turning them on/off, setting schedules, and more. What’s really nice is that it comes with Matter inclusion, streamlining those controls across the most popular ecosystems that you might already have integrated into your home life.
We’ve secured three new exclusive Anker security deals from Wellbots, with one being the EufyCam S3 Pro 4K Solar Security 2-Cam Kit with HomeBase 3 down at $389.99 shipped, after using the code 9TO5EF160 at checkout. Out of stock at Amazon, we had a similar exclusive deal just before Prime Day for this bundle taking the cost down from $550 to $420. Now, though, for a short period that is only running through October 9, you can score an even larger $160 markdown for the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $10 above the low that last appeared during June’s Prime Day event. Head below to see all three of these exclusive bundles before they’re gone.

I’ve been all-in on smart home thermostats for about 10 years now, each time I’ve opted for something that can work with my Apple Home. This unit takes things a step further than many other models by baking in Apple Adaptive Temperature support which essentially helps automate temperature shifts based on your routines, location, and home occupancy. Kind of neat if you ask me. This unit is even officially sold in Apple Stores, and you can read more about that right here.
Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Day sale event isn’t the only big news right now, as the popular brand Ring has introduced five new 4K cameras for indoor and outdoor security needs – all with budget-friendly pricing.

Amazon’s Fall Prime Day Sale is a great time to pick up one of Beatbot’s robotic pool cleaners, especially with the all-time lowest price returning for the second time on the brand’s 2026 Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner down at $999 shipped. You’d typically pay anywhere from $1,099 up to $1,499 for this all-encompassing model through most of the year, but this sale event is offering the best price we have tracked since its March release. My entire family has been loving ours since I went hands-on in my review earlier in the year, and you can find cheaper alternatives down below.
As part of the ongoing fall Prime Day sale, the official Woot storefront at Amazon is offering Ember’s 6-oz Smart Cup in black for $44.99 shipped. That’s 55% off its usual $100 price and the lowest we’ve tracked for this model to date. We’ve seen the larger 10-oz and 14-oz Smart Mugs discounted plenty of times, but this smaller Smart Cup doesn’t see nearly as many price drops. It’s a pretty good option to consider with cooler weather and the holiday season coming up, especially if you tend to sip on espresso, cappuccinos, or other shorter drinks. Head below for more details.
As part of Amazon’s Fall Prime Day Sale event, you can upgrade your home cleaning with up to 45% savings on an ECOVACS robot right now, with a top-shelf option being the DEEBOT X12S OMNICYCLONE Robot Vacuum & Mop down at $949 shipped. Down from a $1,300 full price that it’s mostly kept to since it hit the market in August, this model has seen a previous drop to $1,000 in early September that gets beaten here for a new low price with the $351 savings. You can either browse the full Amazon roundup using the link below, or continue reading to see all of our top picks of alternate floor and window cleaning robots.

As part of the Amazon Big Deal Days savings event, you can currently find the 2-pack of Eve Aqua HomeKit Smart Water Controllers down at $174.95 shipped as part of the collection that went live ahead of the big event. This is a newer multi-pack option that hit the market in February with a $300 full price tag, which we’ve previously seen fall as low as $180 during June’s Prime Day sale, while otherwise keeping above $190. Now though, during this sale event, you can score a larger-than-ever 42% markdown for $125 savings at a new all-time low price, which means you’re paying $87.50 for each device over the single-unit deal at $115.
As Amazon’s early fall Prime Day deals continue, Wellbots is giving our readers four exclusive Anker eufy security deals, including the EufyCam S3 Pro 4K Solar Security 2-Cam Kit with HomeBase 3 down at $419.99 shipped, after using the code 9T5EU130 at checkout, beating Amazon by $130, or you can find a solo add-on camera option below the fold. Down from its $550 full price, this exclusive bundle deal gives you the best price we have tracked in three months. While we have seen it dip a little lower earlier in the year, you’re still getting a solid 24% markdown here for the third-lowest price overall, beating out the full price it’s keeping to at Amazon, despite the early fall Prime Day savings we’ve seen on other models. Head below to check out all four exclusive deals while they last.
Along with the Amazon early fall Prime Day deals, the official Govee storefront is currently offering the first-ever discount on its Wallwasher Smart Table Lamp for $79.99 shipped. This is a new smart lighting device that just hit the market a little over two weeks ago at a $100 full price. This deal is the very first we’ve seen on it since, cutting $20 from the tag and giving you a smaller table-sitting option for washing your walls in color-changing ambiance.
This is a solar-powered 80-lumen pathlight that provides lumination upon motion being detected. Pairing it with Amazon’s Sidewalk lets you customize its smart controls in the companion app, not to mention syncing it with Ring’s other smart lights, doorbells, cameras, and Alexa-enabled devices. There are also multi-pathway bundle options available on the same page.
Running alongside the Amazon early fall Prime Day deals, the official roborock storefront is currently offering its newest 2026 Qrevo Edge 3 Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop down at $1,099.99 shipped, matching the price from the brand’s direct website. Only on the market since mid-August, this new premium cleaning solution saw its first discount just last week, dropping the price from $1,500 to $1,200, but now its getting further savings taking things lower to $1,100 and marking a new all-time low price with $400 in total cut from the tag.

After a long period of increasing discounts from its $2,299 full price in July to $1,800 in August and then $1,500 that carried over into September, which was previously the biggest discount we have seen since it hit the market in March, this robot is seeing even more increased savings. Now, you’re getting even greater $899 savings that land things at a new all-time low price. The upgraded RockMow X130H Robot Lawn Mower is also hitting a new all-time low down at $2,349.99 shipped.
The IFA 2026 reveals just keep coming, and today ECOVACS is rolling out the red carpet for the latest addition to its robot cleaner fleet: the DEEBOT X12S OmniCyclone Robot Vacuum and Mop – plus, it’s getting a launch deal right out of the gate, too. The main focus with this new model is whole-home cleaning coverage with a “sealed dust-mite carpet chamber that pushes down into the pile rather than riding along the top.” Head below to get the rundown on this all-new autonomous companion.
UGREEN is making a much bigger play at IFA 2026 this year, and it goes well beyond the new MagFlow charging gear we’ve already covered. Alongside the new chargers, the company has introduced HomeAgent, a local-first smart home platform that brings AI processing, storage, security, and device control together under one roof. The announcement also marks UGREEN’s entry into the AIoT space, with a whole family of cameras, hubs, smart displays, and other connected gear planned around the new ecosystem. Head below for a closer look and more details.
We’ve been seeing a lot of new reveals coming out of IFA 2026, and Anker is joining the fray with the introduction of its new MindBase AI Home Hub that will function as a central brain for all your home integrations across its five brands, covering whole-home connectivity, local intelligence and memory within one system. Head below to learn more.
At IFA 2026, and running alongside the reveal of Govee’s Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro, the brand is also ripping the veil off two additional smart lighting solutions – the Sky Ceiling Light and the COB Lights 2 Pro. Unlike the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro, which open for purchases on September 7, 2026, these two new alternate models will open their purchases sooner on September 4, 2026. The highlight here is the extended AI capabilities for these new solutions, allowing for group control that unlocks better synchronization for managing multiple different lighting devices.
The popular smart lighting brand, Govee, has soft launched its newest Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro today at IFA 2026, which is the “first permanent outdoor lighting solution featuring independently controlled dual-layer illumination.” It’s been designed for folks to have more DIY creative freedom, letting homeowners personalize their outdoor spaces with more dynamic, dual-layered effects to better fit each home’s unique style.
Govee introduces a new era of outdoor lighting
“As the creator of the permanent outdoor lighting category, Govee has continuously set the benchmark for innovation, from bringing cuttable designs to pioneering multi-zone optics. Building on years of expertise and R&D innovation, the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro takes DIY creativity even further. We’re excited to offer our community a more powerful canvas to express their style and personalize their homes with dual-layer illumination.”
Eric Wu, CEO of Govee
The Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights series has become quite popular for homeowners and renters alike who want to bring more ambiance to outdoor spaces, and at the center of the new Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro sits the brand’s ColorZone Solution, allowing independently controlled color zones packed into a single light unit.
Unlike more traditional outdoor lighting, which usually brings along single-layer designs, these new models take a step up to dual-layer illumination for a composition of even more distinct colors and ambient tones at the same time. This change up provides more seamless gradients, wall-washing effects, and custom highlights for architecture, whether its for eaves, facades, or decks.
It boasts a LuminBlend+ Color Management System for even more “accurate and expressive color performance, delivering more seamless transitions from soft pastels to more vibrant, high-saturation shades.” There’s also the AI Lighting Bot 2.0 tech here, too, letting you describe your desired look/style so that the AI can generate customized dual-layer effects. Alongside that customizable creation feature, there are also eight “Iconic Wonders” themed effects, which are inspired by natural landscapes.
As much as the lighting itself comes with flexibility in mind, so too has it been given more flexible installation. You can adapt the setup to various home layouts and exterior designs, with independently-controlled Y connectors that allow the light strings to be split and still operate with different effects after branching, further adding to its personalization for more complex layouts and diverse home structures. That’s not all the flexibility either, as it also comes as a Matter-ready solution for even greater streamlined controls across your favorite ecosystems.
It should be of no surprise that like its predecessors, the Permanent Outdoor Lights 2 Pro bring along a IP68 waterproof rating, with it especially focused on withstanding rain, snow, and other extreme weather conditions. With this extreme durability and weather resistance built right in, as the name implies, once it goes up, it can stay up.
Today, ECOVACS is launching its latest addition to its robot cleaning fleet, with the release here bolstering its popular window-focused models. Windows can be quite time-consuming and, depending on the location and size, also hazardous, especially those tall-reaching exteriors. The new WINBOT W2S Pro Omni robot is the latest and most precise means to tackle those needs, complete with edge-to-edge coverage, extended cordless functionality, more intelligent navigation, and a larger array of safety features for worry-free support.
Today SwitchBot is debuting its all-new SwitchBot Lock Vision and Lock Vision Pro with some notable launch deals at up to $40 off via its official Amazon storefront.
Robot pool cleaners are becoming more and more common in pools across America, providing autonomous support for their upkeep while giving back time to owners to enjoy the water – plus, they keep that water swim-ready with regular scheduling. What’s more, swimming season is upon us, with many folks starting the process of opening them now that we’re getting more and more consistent warm weather. Some of the most advanced of these pool cleaning robots on the market come from Beatbot, with premium models like the AquaSense Ultra starting up in the $3,000 range, though the brand recently released its Sora 70 Robotic Pool Cleaner to provide more accessible pricing with top-tier features. Of course, I picked one up to help my parents maintain their pool, both of them now in their elderly years, while also dealing with some physical disabilities. Head below to get a full rundown on mine and their experiences in this hands-on review.
Govee is a popular smart lighting brand that tends to have more reasonable pricing, and the brand is launching three new entries into its popular floor lamp series this morning – the Floor Lamp 3 (as well as a Lite variant) and the Lantern Floor Lamp. The former of these two is taking the mantle of Govee’s latest flagship lighting device, with color reproduction powered by LuminBlend+ color management tech, while the former is bringing along a “first-of-its-kind” Halo Gradient lighting experience to a more lantern-focused form factor. There’s also some shared AI-support, as well as Matter support, and automated circadian rhythm scheduling. Head below to get the full rundown on what you can expect.
Amazon’s Blink smart home brand is perhaps best known for its affordability in the intelligent home camera space. It delivers range of both indoor and outdoor cameras you can often times score for as low as $20 on Amazon, and today it is introducing its very first 2K video doorbells.
ECOVACS is well known for its fleet of robot cleaners and mowers, and today the brand has officially thrown its hat into the pool cleaning ring with the launch of its new ULTRAMARINE P1 robotic pool cleaner that was first revealed at CES 2026. This new affordable pool cleaning solution is finally hitting the market, bringing along the brand’s decades of robotic experience together with designs for more accessible pricing – just in time for the swimming season. Head below to get a full rundown on what you can expect, as well as where to pick one up for your own summer needs.
I wanted to automate my lawn watering this year and actually picked one of these up. Turns out I want to operate 8 sprinklers, which means I’d need four of these, which is just too many individual units for me. That said, I did get this hooked up and tested with HomeKit and it was a breeze to water on and off right from the Apple Home app. It gets my stamp of approval.
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?
