Amazon smashes prices of Ring Alarm system kits by 40% with a free Echo Dot

Add as a preferred source on Google

If’ you’ve been waiting for a sale on Ring’s Alexa-compatible DIY Home security alarms, this is it. Matching the best prices we saw during last year’s Black Friday to Cyber Monday sales, Amazon just smashed the prices on Ring Alarm systems kits by 40% with a free third-generation Echo Dot.

Each Ring Alarm kit includes a Base Station with a 104-decibel siren, a Keypad to arm or disarm the system (which you can also do with the Ring App or Alexa), one or more Contact Sensors for windows or doors, a Motion Detector, and a Wi-Fi Range Extender.

The Base Station, Keypad, and Range Extender plug into AC outlets. The sensors and motion detectors are battery-powered with battery life rated to last approximately three years. The biggest attraction of battery-powered devices is their ease of installation. As long as they’re within about 250-feet of the Ring Alarm Base Station, you can pretty much stick them anywhere. The Wi-Fi Range Extender reinforces the wireless connection.

You don’t need an Alexa device to monitor the Ring Alarm kits, because you can monitor and control the system remotely with the free Ring app. With Alexa-compatible smart speakers or smart displays, such as the included Echo Dot smart speaker or an Echo Show 5 smart display, you can use voice commands to control the alarm system.

Ring Alarm kits all have Ring Protect service at no extra cost. The free service includes motion-activated notifications to your smartphone, real-time Live View video with any Ring-compatible connected smart cameras, two-way talk with Ring video doorbells and properly equipped security lights and cameras, and lifetime theft protection. The optional Ring Protect Plus plan costs $10 a month or $100 a year. It includes 24/7 professional monitoring service, extended warranties for all Ring devices at your address, and 10% off select Ring devices.

So if you’ve been waiting for the prices to drop again for Ring Alarm kits, this is it. These five deals can help you save up to $160.

Normally priced at $249 purchased separately, the Ring Alarm 5-Piece Kit with the Echo Dot is just $139.

Ring Alarm 8-Piece Kit + Echo Dot — $120 off


The Ring Alarm 8-Piece Kit includes a Ring base station, keypad, three window or door contact sensors, two motion detectors, and a Wi-Fi range extender.

Ring Alarm Smoke & CO Kit + Echo Dot — $140 off

Regularly priced $349 purchased together, the Ring Alarm Smoke and  CO Kit with an Echo Dot is just $209 during this sale.

Ring Alarm 14-Piece Kit + Echo Dot — $150 off

Apple is reportedly looking to expand its smart home lineup with smart displays, cameras, and updated HomePods
Apple's smart home roadmap reportedly includes new displays, cameras and HomePods
Apple HomePod with Apple iPhone

Apple appears to be preparing a much broader push into smart-home hardware, with several new products in development as the company looks to expand beyond the HomePod mini and Apple TV, according to a 9To5Mac report.

The roadmap includes refreshed versions of both existing products, a new smart-home hub with a display, a larger HomePod update, and eventually Apple's first dedicated smart-home security devices. The information comes from recent reporting summarized by 9to5Mac, which notes that Siri's long-awaited AI upgrades could remove one of the obstacles that has held back new Home products.

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.
