Amazon cuts prices on Echo Plus, Dot, Show, Show 5, and more smart home devices

Amazon began a new site-wide promotion today with the announcement, “Happy HoliDeals!” and we saw healthy discounts on several of the best-selling Echo smart home devices, including smart speakers and smart displays. Now that we’re in November and officially on the countdown to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Amazon’s strategy will likely be to continue to add enticing deals each day all month.

We’ve found the best discounts on smart home devices from Amazon and put them all in one place. Whether you’re buying Christmas gifts, adding to your smart home, or need a little extra help around the house, these five deals can help you save up to $80.

Echo Dot (3rd Gen) — $20 off


The third-generation Echo Dot has been the bestselling entry-level smart speaker in the world. Hook up a Dot to ask the Alexa digital voice assistant questions, request music, and control a whole network of smart home devices.

Ordinarily $50, the Echo Dot is just $30 during this sale. There is a newer Dot with LEDs that display the time that’s not included in this deal. It’s also likely this Dot model will be available for $5 to $8 or $10 less on Black Friday, but if you can use it now, the $30 discounted price is still a good deal.

Echo (2nd Gen) — $50 off


The second-generation Echo smart speaker is available only in this limited-edition oak finish at the discounted price. The major significant upgrade from the Dot to the Echo is better sound. The 2nd-gen Echo has a 2.5-inch down-firing woofer and a 0.6-inch tweeter with Dolby audio processing so that you can fill a room with pleasing music. Normally $120, the Echo is just $70 for this sale.

Echo Plus (2nd Gen) with a Philips Hue bulb — $60 off


The next step up in audio listening from the Echo smart speaker is the Echo Plus. The Echo Plus promises premium 360-degree sound and also boasts an integrated Zigbee smart home hub to work with third-party smart home devices that need to connect to a central hub to be recognized.

Usually $180 if purchased separately, this Echo Plus and Philips Hue smart bulb bundle is just $120 during the sale. You can buy the Echo Plus on sale by itself for $120, but since the bulb is included at no extra cost, go for it.

Echo Show (2nd Gen) with Philips Hue bulb — $80 off


Along with its 10-inch display, the Echo Show also has premium speakers with Dolby processing for crisp audio. The display can show step-by-step recipes, weather and news reports, streaming video entertainment including TV shows and films, and show live video feeds from Alexa-compatible security cameras.

The Echo Show is usually $230. You can buy it with or without the Philips Hue bulb for the same $180 price during this sale. But if you opt for this deal, why not the smart bulb for no extra charge. Smart lights you can control with your voice are extremely convenient.

Echo Show 5 — $30 off


Snap up this deal on the smallest regular format Echo smart display. The Echo Show 5’s screen is actually 5.5 inches measured diagonally and convenient as a nightstand clock and video display, photo gallery viewer, or even to watch video clips or livestream video from security cameras.

Ordinarily $90, the Echo Show 5 is only $60 during this sale, the lowest price we’ve seen for this device.

Amazon is at the forefront of the smart home revolution, especially with Amazon Echo deals bringing smart speakers and smart displays to more households. The Amazon Smart Plug is another amazing product that can turn non-smart devices into smart ones.

The Amazon Smart Plug is very easy to set up. Just plug it into your wall outlet, and either wait for it to appear in the Alexa app on your smartphone or add it manually through the app's Devices section. Once it's up and running, it will work with Amazon's Alexa to add voice controls to the outlet, and to any electronic device that's plugged into it. You can schedule lights, fans, coffee makers, humidifiers, and other types of appliances to turn on and off automatically -- check out our guide on how to set a timer on Amazon Smart Plugs. You can also use Alexa Routines to make certain actions trigger specific commands, such as turning off all the lights and locking all the doors when you say "Alexa, good night."

If you want the current best smart display available, buy it today while you can still save.
 

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Show 15
Our Amazon Echo Show 15 review praised the 15.6-inch diagonal measure display on the Show 15, but a large screen alone isn't the whole story. The Show 15 supports multiple widgets, a class of utilities for notes, tasks, lists, schedules, photos, weather, maps, and more that can be pasted and moved around the display by family members. Because the Show 15's display real estate is relatively large, there's enough room for a generous selection of widgets. You can mount the Show 15 in landscape or portrait mode, depending on your wall space and personal preference. With an optional stand for the display, you also can place it on a table, cabinet, or desk.
