By

Now that we know Amazon Prime Day 2019 starts July 15 and runs 48 hours through July 16, we’ve begun our search for the inevitable teaser deals leading up to the enormous sales event. Because Amazon owns several smart home device brands in addition to the Echo model lineup, the online powerhouse can do as it wishes with company-controlled device deals to help build excitement.

Amazon would probably love it if everyone habitually checked the site for great deals every day. Since building a habit takes at least a few days, you can expect to find sweet discounts on smart home devices from now right through the 48-hour Prime Day event. Amazon will change the deals frequently, adding to the fun and for some, the suspense. If you see a great deal on a smart home device today, don’t assume that price will stick overnight – or even for another hour.

We’ve found the best discounts on Amazon smart home devices today and gathered them here. Whether you’re looking for smart home deals to build out your smart home setup or just getting started, these three deals can help you save up to $100.

Echo Sub Bundle with 2 Echo (2nd Gen) Devices — $100 off

Reolink holiday security guide: Deals to secure your home for the holidays
Reolink Doorbell WiFi installed for holiday security father and daughter

The holidays, while wonderful, are also a weird time for most people. Either you're traveling, maybe even to a distant relative's home, others are traveling to you, or you're doing holiday-themed things like shopping, sledding, enjoying the cool weather, or any number of winterific activities. If your schedule is full, and we hope it is, you'll be spending a lot of time away from your own home, which means now's a great time to start thinking about security. Crimes tend to increase during the holidays, and between robberies, larcenies, and package theft, there's a lot to consider. Even if you're home, these nefarious events can and do happen.

But one of the better ways to protect yourself, your property, and your family is to install some surveillance and smart home security devices. A key feature is the option to connect remotely and watch or interact with live video feeds, like conversing with a home lawn service rep via two-way audio or asking the package courier to drop your delivery in a specific place. Reolink is your ticket to peace of mind this holiday season, with incredible deals on security devices and some useful tips that can help protect what's yours.

Luckily, there's a solution in the form of smart plugs that will let you switch anything connected to them on and off right from your phone. Not only that, but a few of them have additional capabilities, such as checking how much electricity is being used, which is great if you're trying to lower your electric bill by being conscious of your usage. While upgrading your whole home with smart plugs might be expensive, today is the first day of Black Friday, so there are a ton of great Black Friday deals you can take advantage of, and we've collected our favorites below.

Tineco Black Friday deals: Smart vacuums galore to clean your floors
Tineco PURE ONE Station being put away on charger

Vacuuming and cleaning should not be strenuous. You should be able to take out your tool of choice, glide through your home cleaning up with minimal effort, and then get right back to your life. Unfortunately, not all vacuums are created equal, which can mean the work itself takes longer. Either they don't offer powerful suction, they don't offer convenient attachments for more thorough cleans, or they exacerbate the problem -- with bag-based dustbins, for example, that cause more hassle than they're worth. With the holidays coming up and lots of family coming to visit, quick cleaning is going to be more important than ever. Enter Tineco with its excellent smart vacuums.

Between the Pure One Station, Pure One S15 Essential, and Pure One S11, there's a cordless vacuum in the lineup for you. Best of all, Tineco is having excellent holiday, and Black Friday deals that drop their prices to all-time lows.
