Blink, an Amazon-owned company, specializes in indoor and outdoor cameras, and it joined the video doorbell space with the Blink Video Doorbell. Once installed, either wireless with lithium batteries or wired with an existing doorbell setup, you can access its 1080p HD camera with infrared night vision and two-way audio to see and converse with whoever is outside your door. You’ll get alerts on your smartphone when the video doorbell detects motion and when someone presses the button, and you’ll also receive a 30-day free trial to the Blink Subscription Plan, which offers benefits such as unlimited storage for live recordings.

If your partner is always worried about home security, the Blink Video Doorbell will grant peace of mind. It’s currently available from Amazon for just $40, after a $10 discount to its original price of $50.

The primary goal of the Amazon Smart Thermostat, which was developed with Honeywell, is to reduce your energy usage. It’s Energy Star certified, which means that you’ll be able to save an average of $50 on your annual energy expenses. After you purchase the smart home device, you will receive an email with details on the rebates that you may take advantage of from your area’s energy providers. In addition, the smart thermostat works with Amazon’s Alexa to automatically update your home’s temperature to keep you comfortable, though you also have the option of setting the temperature yourself from anywhere through the Alexa app.

For those who value thrift, the Amazon Smart Thermostat is a godsend as it will help save energy and money. You can purchase this smart home device from Amazon at $12 off, which lowers its price to just $48 from its original price of $60.
