While it’s relatively slim pickings in terms of smart home gear, there are still some good deals to be found during Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale, which runs through October 12th.

As always, there’s a slew of robot vacuums getting price drops; we’ve picked the best deals on the best bots we saw. There are also a number of older Echo devices seeing some substantial savings as well as some of our firm favorites, such as the Echo Show 8 and Echo fourth-gen smart speakers.

We also found some decent deals on a few of our top picks for smart security cameras, plus savings on smart locks and garage door controllers. Remember, most of the deals on Prime Day are for Prime members only, but if you’re not a member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and still get those prices.

The best deals on Amazon Echo devices

• Amazon is clearing the shelves ahead of the launch of its fifth-gen Echo Dot next week, but if you’re in need of a smart speaker for a garage or spare room, the third-gen Echo Dot is a steal at $17.99, down from $39.99. It has the original flat design, which makes it easier to mount to a wall, but the sound quality on the fourth-gen version is better thanks to its front-firing speaker. It’s also a bit better at hearing you. Read our review.
• Also on the clearance shelf is the Fire TV Cube, which is now on sale for $59.99 (was $119.99). The new Fire TV Cube coming later this month supports both HDMI in and HDMI out, so you can plug a cable box directly into it. It also has a faster processor and offers support for Wi-Fi 6E. But that one will cost $139.99. Read our guide to the best streaming devices.
• You can save $15 on a pre-order for the latest Echo Dot fifth-gen bundled with an Eero Mesh Wi-Fi router. The new Dot can act as a mesh extender for an Eero system, and Amazon is selling the duo for $99, down from $118.99.
• The best Echo Show for your wall, the Echo Show 15, is $169.99, down from $249.99. The sizable Show will soon be upgraded to support Fire TV, thereby fulfilling its purpose of being a pretty decent kitchen TV. Read our review.
• The Echo with moves, the Echo Show 10, sees a big discount, with $80 off this big screen Echo that can follow your movements. The sale price is $169.99, down from $249.99
• The Amazon Smart Air Quality Monitor is $48.99, down from $69.99. It’s not an Echo device, but if you pair it with one, the Echo speaker can announce your air quality alerts, making this a useful tool in your smart home. It has also improved since we reviewed it. It can now trigger Alexa Routines — so you can have your smart air purifier or thermostat turn on when the device senses a drop in air quality, temperature, humidity, and other options.

The best robot vacuum deals

• Another pick for a high-end robot vacuum is the Roborock S7 Plus, which is selling for $679.99, a savings of $270. This robot can vacuum and mop — it lifts up its mopping pad when it goes over low-pile carpet, and it’s our favorite combo robot. It also comes with an auto-empty dock for sucking debris out of the bin.
• If you want Roborock’s cream of the crop, however, the Roborock S7 MaxV is the way to go. It does everything the S7 does, plus adds AI-powered detection to avoid common household clutter to make sure it gets the job done. The Roborock S7 MaxV robot vacuum / mop is on sale for $639.99, and you can add the auto-empty dock for a total of $869.99 (down from $1,159.99).
• If you’re looking to spend a little less, Roborock’s new midrange line includes the Q5 Plus, a self-emptying robot vacuum, on sale for $479.99, down from $699.99.
• The Roomba i4 Plus EVO is a variant of the i3 EVO we’ve tested that’s our pick for the best budget auto-empty robot. There’s no AI-powered obstacle avoidance here, but it can map your home and empty itself once it’s done cleaning. The i4 Plus Evo is selling for $399.99, down from $557.99, and comes with a third-gen Echo Dot thrown in for voice control, making this a good deal for sparkling floors.
• The Shark AI Ultra XL sees a huge price cut to just $349.99 (from $649.99), making it the cheapest option from our top picks for a robot vacuum that can self-empty. It’s a loud robot, both in looks and sounds, but it doesn’t need bags in the auto-empty dock, and while its AI isn’t as advanced as Roomba’s and Roborock’s, it can avoid any object over 4 inches tall and is a mapping bot, with virtual keep out zones.
• If you're looking for a standalone robot mop to keep the kitchen floor squeaky clean, the iRobot Braava Jet m6 is 40 percent off at $299.99. If you have a Roomba vacuum, it can pair with the Braava Jet and tell it to go start cleaning once the vacuum is done.

The best deals on smart lighting

• The elegant Nanoleaf Elements Wood are on sale for $199, a savings of $50. These hexagonal wood-look lighting panels can display a range of warm to cool ambient white lighting and double as wall art. Both Nanoleaf sets work over 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and can function as Thread border routers.
• Nanoleaf’s Thread-enabled smart light bulbs, the Nanoleaf Essentials A19 white and color bulbs, are on sale for $37 for three — a savings of $12. These smart bulbs work over Thread or Bluetooth and are compatible with Apple Home’s adaptive lighting feature.
• For some outdoor smart lighting, these Govee Smart Outdoor String Lights are a great way to spruce up your deck or patio with warm lighting. On sale for $27.99 (down from $41.99), the white LED bulbs are Wi-Fi powered, IP65-rated, and work with Alexa for voice control.
• If you have existing outdoor lights you want to make smart, the Kasa Outdoor Smart Dimmer Plug is on sale for just $17.99 today. This is a great option and one of the only outdoor smart plugs that can also dim your string lights. It works over Wi-Fi, so no hub is required, and it can be controlled by Alexa and Google but not Apple Home.
• The 1100-lumen Wyze Bulb Color is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Right now, the smart A19 bulb is on sale for $10.99 instead of $15.98.

The best deals on smart security cameras

• Ring’s basic battery-powered buzzer is also on sale, bundled with a Ring Stick up Cam for $119.98, an $80 savings. The Ring Video Doorbell (second-gen) can be hooked up to doorbell wires to trickle charge its battery or work solely off battery power. The Ring Stick Up Cam is also battery-powered and can be used indoors or outside. Both require a Ring Protect subscription to view recorded videos.
• The excellent battery-powered Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight cam is 22 percent off today, bringing the price to $193.84 instead of $249.99. With 2K video, color-night vision, and a 160-degree view — not to mention powerful 3,000-lumen floodlights — this Arlo cam can work over Wi-Fi or with an Arlo system, which adds Apple Home support in addition to Alexa and Google Home compatibility. Read our review.
• An Apple Home-compatible security camera from our Best Floodlight Camera buying guide, the Eve Outdoor Cam is on sale for $40 off with the on-page coupon, bringing it to $209.95.
• For some cheap home security options, the Blink Mini indoor cam is available as a two-pack for just $29.99 (regularly $64.99). Blink recently announced a pan and tilt mount for its Mini camera that adds the ability for this camera to rotate and tilt so you can see everywhere in your home.
• If you’re in the market for a dedicated pet cam that also throws treats to your furball, the fun Furbo 360 Dog cam is $147, down from $210. This one rotates 360 degrees to follow your pet, so you never miss a moment. However, it does require a monthly subscription fee to view your pet’s recorded antics.

The best deals on smart locks

• The fun and functional SwitchBot smart lock is on sale with 20 percent off across its range of accessories using the on-page coupon. Our pick is the lock, plus the hub, and fingerprint reading keypad, which is $135.99 right now. The hub connects this retrofit Bluetooth lock to Wi-FI so you can control it with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, and the fingerprint keypad gives you an easy way to unlock the door. Read our review.
• Not a door lock, per se, but another way to access your home from your phone, the MyQ smart garage controller is on sale — again. Just $16.98, down from $29.98, this connects wirelessly to your garage door opener to let you control it from your phone. MyQ also has a compatible garage camera that pairs with the controller (and can mount magnetically under your opener), so you can visually see if your door is open that’s on sale today for $69.99, but it requires a subscription to view any recorded video. Both products work with Amazon Key In-Garage Delivery if you want to have packages delivered inside your garage.

The best deals on smart plugs

• Amazon is selling Kasa’s Smart Plug Power Strip HS300, which comes with six outlets and three USB ports, for $44.99 instead of $79.99. The strip is compatible with both Amazon Alexa and Google Home; it also sports additional features like energy monitoring.
• The excellent Kasa Mini smart plugs are also on sale for $12.99 for two, down from $19.99. These are not the Apple Home-compatible versions (which are also on sale for $39.99 for four), and there’s no energy monitoring, but they do work with Alexa and Google Home.
• You can also score a 50 percent discount on the Amazon Smart Plug, which is selling for $12.99. Be aware, though, it’s only compatible with Alexa-enabled devices and can only be used indoors.
