Best Prime Day Amazon Deals
This story is part of the Digital Trends Prime Day 2026 coverage

There’s no need to tackle every room at once. These four Amazon deals ahead of October Prime Day start at $56.99 and cover temperature control, older appliances, ambient lighting, and air purification. Pick the upgrade that would get used every day.

Amazon Smart Thermostat – $56.99 (29% off)

At $23 off, Amazon’s Smart Thermostat has the biggest percentage discount of these four picks. It’s where I’d start in an Alexa household, assuming the wiring checks out. Scheduling temperature changes doesn’t require a three-figure thermostat, but installation can add to the bill: this package doesn’t include the compatible adapter that homes without a C-wire may need.

Key spec/featureDetails
HVAC compatibilityCompatible 24V HVAC systems; check Amazon’s compatibility tool before purchase. Not compatible with 110–240V systems.
Power requirementC-wire or compatible C-wire adapter
Smart controlsAlexa app, schedules, and Alexa voice control through a compatible device
Included configurationThermostat only; C-wire adapter not included

SwitchBot Hub 2 – $59.99 (14% off)

An older air conditioner or TV doesn’t need replacing just to gain phone controls. SwitchBot’s Hub 2 learns compatible infrared remotes and brings those appliances into supported automations. Check compatibility with the equipment already in the room before buying. The $10 discount is modest, but connecting something that still works is a more appealing proposition than shopping for its replacement.

Key spec/featureDetails
Appliance controlInfrared remote learning for compatible devices
SensorsTemperature, humidity, and ambient light
Connectivity2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Matter supportBridges supported SwitchBot devices and infrared controls
Physical controlsTwo customizable touch buttons for scenes

Govee Floor Lamp 2 – $135.99 (15% off)

For a living room that feels harsh under the ceiling lights, Govee’s Floor Lamp 2 offers a softer evening setup. It casts adjustable white or multicolor light onto nearby walls, while the illuminated base adds another pool of color. Matter support helps it fit into an existing smart home, and the color effects give it a place beside a gaming desk, too.

Levoit Vital 200S-P smart air purifier – $167.95 (12% off)

The less time spent adjusting an air purifier, the better. Levoit’s Auto Mode changes fan speed in response to detected air quality, so there’s less reason to reach for the controls. In homes with pets, the washable pre-filter catches larger debris before it reaches the main filter. That doesn’t eliminate upkeep: the pre-filter needs cleaning, and replacement filters cost extra.

Key spec/featureDetails

FiltrationWashable pre-filter, particle filtration, and activated carbon

Mori might be the cutest AI companion robot yet, and it reacts to you like a pet
The Pokémon-like companion can blink, dance, act shy, and respond to what is happening around it.
OKA Mori The Nature Companion AI Home Robot

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
