Black Friday offers: get a smart speaker, smart light bulbs and a $ 110 smart plug

The best time to make your home smart is now.

In this Black Friday, you will save big on the essentials of the smart home – a smart speaker, smart light bulbs and smart cards – at Amazon, Best Buy, Target and other retailers.

I already have a Amazon Echo speaker and Philips Hue install? You can also save on more advanced smart devices, including a smart lock, a doorbell and a thermostat. (See our complete guide to holiday gifts here.)

If you are ready to renovate your home or want to offer a smart home to someone, here's how you go for $ 110. Disclaimer: CNET may obtain a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the products presented on this page.

The essentials of the smart home: $ 110 total

Smart speaker: $ 25

Whether you're loyal to Amazon or you love Google, you can get a $ 25 smart speaker.

New Amazon Echo Dot (3rd generation) is on sale for $ 24 on Amazon this Black Friday, down $ 50. This new Echo Dot came out in October, so it's a good deal for something so new.

the The Google Home Mini Speaker is available for $ 25 (down $ 50) at many retailers, but the best place to buy it is Lowes. There you will have a free GE C-Life bulb with your purchase. The bulb works with the speaker right out of the box, no hub is needed.

Smart light bulbs: $ 80 ($ 2 to $ 40 each)

Even if you take the Google Home Mini with a Beam of GE Light Bulbsyou should still take a few more bulbs.

I know that $ 80 for light bulbs seem high, but they will last for years. From 5pm on Thanksgiving Day, you can get a $ 40 Multi-Color LiFX Wi-Fi Smart Light Bulb ($ 20 rebate). These bulbs do not require a hub and connect to both Alexa and Google Assistant.

I recommend you start with two bulbs – one for your entry and one for your bedroom. The light of the entrance can turn on when you come back so that you will never feel with your keys, and the bulb of the bedroom can act as a wake up without noise.

Smart plug: $ 5

If you buy an Amazon Echo ($ 69 at Amazon) speaker from Amazon, you must also absolutely take a Amazon Smart Plug for $ 5. It only works with Alexa, which is good if you buy an Echo speaker (with Alexa on board), but it's the best deal you'll find on a smart plug.

Another good deal is the Package of 2 TP-Link Casa cards at $ 23 total. This represents a saving of 17 USD. These jacks work with Alexa and Google Assistant.
