When Google introduced new Nest Home devices last week, it was inevitable that some of the existing models would go on sale.

Google Home - Smart Speaker & Google Assistant — $30 off

The Google Home was the first smart speaker with Google Assistant. The Google Home has the same functionality as the Home Mini, but the reason to spend more for this model is sound. The Google Home has a high-excursion speaker, which refers to the distance a speaker moves while producing sounds. In general, the greater the excursion, the better mid and low-frequency sound: which means better-sounding vocals and bass. If audio quality doesn’t matter that much to you, the Google Home Mini is a better choice, but if you prefer higher-quality audio, the Google Home is a significant improvement over the Mini.

Regularly priced $129, the Google Home smart speaker is $99 for this sale. If you’re shopping for a smart speaker with decent audio quality for background or casual listening, this could be the time to snap up this deal.

Google Nest Hub — $20 off

The Google Nest Hub is the entry-level Smart Display for the Google Assistant smart home platform. The Nest Hub has a 7-inch diagonal color touchscreen plus a full-range speaker. In addition to voice interactions as with the Google Home and Google Home Mini, above, the Nest Hub adds graphical, image, and video content. You can use the Nest Hub to view step-by-step recipe instructions, watch streaming video content sources like Netflix and YouTube, and livestream from security cameras in your smart home configuration. You can also receive one-way video calls, but this device doesn’t have a camera, and some prefer that for the sake of privacy. You can also configure the Nest Hub to display your digital photos.

Ordinarily $149, the Google Nest Hub is just $129 during this sale. If you want video and image content with a Google Nest smart home, take advantage of this discount.

Google Home Max — $100 off

The Google Home Max is Google’s high-end smart speaker, and in this case, according to user reviews, you need to keep the volume under control because you could shake your neighbor’s windows if you live in an apartment building. The Home Max has two 4.5-inch woofers to handle bass sounds and two tweeters for high frequencies. There are also two choices of equalizer settings: Room EQ adjusts for the room and Media EQ tunes the speaker for the specific media.

Instead of the usual $399 price, Walmart cut the Google Home Max to just $299 for this sale. If you want a Google Assistant smart speaker capable of filling the party with sound, now could be the time to click the buy button.

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.

The best smart home gym equipment
Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.
