The best Cyber Monday deals under $25

The best smart home deals under $25

• Amazon’s fifth-gen Echo Dot is discounted to $24.99 with a free A19, 1,100-lumen Philips Hue smart bulb. That’s half off the normal price of the terrific smart speaker (the bulb usually goes for $16). The latest Dot has a new processor and more bass than the prior model, and it doubles as an Eero Wi-Fi extender. It’s also available without the bulb for the same price.

• You can also buy the third-gen Echo Dot on Amazon for $14.99 ($25 off), or for $17.98 with a 1,100-lumen Philips Hue smart bulb ($38 off). Alternatively, you can get it for $1 when you subscribe to one month of Amazon Music Unlimited ($8.99 a month). While its sound quality is nowhere near the newer, orb-shaped models, the puck-like speaker sounds decent enough and can be used to perform various Alexa-enabled tasks. Read our review.

• Kasa’s Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug-In Dimmer is an outdoor smart lighting plug that can dim compatible lights as well as set schedules and timers; it also can be controlled with your voice using either Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Right now, it’s available on Amazon for $16.99 instead of $29.99.
• The tiny and colorful second-gen Nest Mini smart speaker is just $18 ($31 off) at Walmart. It’s also priced slightly higher at Best Buy, Target, and Google, where you can pick it up for $19.99. It doesn’t have room-filling sound for listening to music, but it does sound better when mounted to a wall, and it remains the cheapest way to introduce Google Assistant voice controls into your home.

• It’s tough not to cover your home in RGB lighting when it's this inexpensive. Govee has several lighting options available on Cyber Monday that fall below the $25 mark, making its products a solid alternative to more expensive options from Lifx or Philips. Singles of Govee Smart Light Bulbs are normally $13.99, but you can currently pick them up for around $9 each at Amazon when you use the on-screen coupon.

• If you’re looking to smarten up an outlet in your home, Amazon’s apt-titled Smart Plug is currently on sale at Amazon for $12.99 instead of $24.99, matching its best price to date. The inexpensive gadget is a great way to schedule lights and add voice control to appliances that lack smart functionality, as long as you’re okay with the fact that it only works with Alexa.
• The myQ Chamberlain Smart Garage Control — a wireless garage hub and sensor — is down to $16.99 ($10 off) at Amazon. It’s a few dollars away from the all-time low for this garage opener, which ensures you know you closed it regardless of where you are in the world.

The platform-agnostic Bluetooth tracker can help you locate lost objects from up to 250 feet away by showing you their location in the Tile app or by emitting a ring when you get close.
