Amazon cuts sweet deals on smart home devices in advance of Prime Day

Bruce Brown
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


When we describe Echo smart speakers, we often refer to the device’s ability to fill a room with music when differentiating it from the small Echo Dot. So imagine the sound quality if you pair two Echo smart speakers in stereo mode and configure them to work with an Echo Sub subwoofer. The Echo Sub’s 100-watt deep down-firing 6-inch woofer handles the low-frequency sounds, leaving the two Echo devices to use their 360-degree Dolby-powered speakers to deliver clear mid-range and sparkling high-frequency audio

Regularly priced $330 if purchased separately, this bundle with two Echo smart speakers and the Echo Sub is $230 during this sale. If you’re shopping for house-party-level audio, snap up this deal.

Ring Floodlight Cam is 40% off, and you should totally consider it
Ring floodlight cam on brick wall.

If you're looking for the best floodlight cameras for added security, the Ring Floodlight Cam is a great option, especially if you're already in the Amazon ecosystem and can connect your other Amazon devices with the floodlight. If you want to grab one, there's a great Prime Day deal from Amazon that discounts it to $120 from $200, which is pretty substantial and is a great opportunity to grab two or more if you need to cover your whole house.

Why you should buy the Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus
The Ring Floodlight Cam Wires Plus is pretty easy to install if you know how to install a light fixture, and it won't take long, assuming you're replacing an existing one. Interestingly enough, the back plate has foam to protect from water intrusion or other elements you'd deal with outside, which is a nice addition and helps avoid having to caulk it yourself. In terms of placement, both lights and Ring Camera can be rotated freely, and you can even place the Ring Camera above rather than below, as is usual. Either way, you're dealing with two 2,000-lumen floodlights, which are pretty intense and should let you see relatively far away at night and are much more powerful than the spotlight version, as you can see in our breakdown between the Ring Spotlight Cam Pro vs. Ring Floodlight Pro.
