Amazon’s Cyber Monday deals for August Home smart locks are tough to pass up

Smart locks don’t come cheap. Most of the notable ones fetch for at least $100 when they’re new, so when something comes around that discounts the price to nearly half the cost, it’s not to pass up! For Cyber Monday, Amazon has several deals going on for various smart home gadgets, but the deals for a couple of August Home smart locks are outstanding when you consider they’re discounted by more than 50%.

Those looking to upgrade to a smart lock, Amazon slashed the price of the August Home Lock (third generation) down to $55 for Cyber Monday. That’s a steep discount considering that it normally sells for $150. Whereas most smart locks look bulky and require homeowners to completely replace the deadbolt and lock, the August Home Lock simply goes over your existing deadbolt and you get to keep your lock and keys. At $55, it’s a steal because you can now unlock/lock your door using your smartphone. However, you will need to purchase the Wi-Fi bridge if you intend on remotely accessing it and plan to integrate it with other third-party devices.

Alternatively, Amazon has the August Smart Lock Pro priced at $119 during Cyber Monday — a savings of $161. This is yet another unbelievable deal because it comes with the Wi-Fi bridge. The circular sized smart lock has a high-quality design, simple installation, and voice control with Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. Sure, it’s double the cost of what Amazon is offering for the other smart lock, but we can’t stress the fact that there’s no additional purchase for the Wi-Fi bridge. The savings of not having to buy that separately makes this deal equally attractive.

If you’re looking to expand your smart home, there are several other deals going on right now for Cyber Monday. Below, you’ll find some phenomenal deals that will complement the August Home smart locks. Instead of relying on an app, why not pair it with a smart speaker for voice commands? Not only that, but security cameras will also help to ensure that whoever comes through your door is an invited guest.

Smart lock buying guide

Smart locks are an important part of any smart home. Not only do they give you useful features like the ability to unlock the door with a passcode or remotely with your smartphone, but they’re the first thing visitors see when coming to your home. Because of this, smart locks need to be both functional and appealing to the eye.

That’s a tall order for what’s essentially just a lock -- but there are tons of great products to consider in 2023. But if you need some help with your search, this smart lock buying guide will teach you what a smart lock is, factors you should consider when shopping for a smart lock, and everything else you need to know about these popular gadgets.
What is a smart lock?
A smart lock is not all that different from a traditional lock. What makes it smart is typically a Wi-Fi connection that allows you to link the physical lock to a companion app. The app allows for activities like remote access, geo-location features (to have your door unlock automatically when you pull into the driveway, for example), and even creating digital passkeys for other family members, friends, contractors, or visitors.

Lockly smart lock adds voice controls, fingerprint sensor to existing deadbolts
The Lockly Flex Touch Pro installed on an existing deadbolt.

Lockly seems to have kept renters in mind with its latest product, the Flex Touch Pro. Unlike most traditional smart locks, this one doesn’t require you to install a new deadbolt -- yet still manages to add both voice controls and a fingerprint scanner to your front door.

The Flex Touch Pro was revealed during CES 2023 and is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2023 with a price tag of $230. That pricing puts it right in the middle of the smart lock market, although its retrofitting design and impressive biometric features should make it an appealing option for both renters and homeowners. The product comes with three unique frames to offer a nearly universal fit and supports Wi-Fi for remote access, letting you check in on the status of your door regardless of where you are.

This RTX 3070 gaming laptop deal for $1,000 officially wins Cyber Monday
Two models of the Asus TUF Dash against graphics on a background.

If you're shopping for a gaming laptop under $1,000, you know what to expect. An RTX 3050 or 3050 Ti in a very thick chassis. Well, that's where this Cyber Monday deal from Best Buy exceeds my expectations for what gaming laptops at this price can be.

The deal is for an Asus TUF Dash, which normally sells for $1,500. Thanks to a discount of $500, though, this powerful gaming laptop now lands just under $1,000. That's an incredible value, considering it packs an RTX 3070 inside. And that GPU really does make all the difference in game performance.
