Top 7 Smart Home Gadgets You Can Buy on Black Friday

It’s 2017 and smart homes are not a thing of the future anymore. As futuristic as some of the devices may appear, getting your hands on them isn’t big a deal now with affordable Amazon smart home appliances.

So, what are we waiting for? Let’s have a peek at some awesome smart home gadgets you can get this Black Friday.

1. Echo Dot

Let’s start with a couple of in-house products from Amazon. The first one is the second generation Echo Dot. Capable of voice recognition, the tiny Amazon assistant can not only set up alarms and reminders but also play music and news on demand.

What’s more? Controlling smart devices with the Echo Dot is a child’s play. Since Christmas is also close, you can utilize the combo deals to gift a couple of Echo Dots to your buddies.

In a seasonal offer from Amazon, you’d get one device free if you buy six or $20 off on purchase of three Echo Dots.

While you are at it, don’t forget to dress the Echo Dot in a couple of trendy suits and cases because “winter is coming”.

2. Echo + Philips Hue Lights

If you’re thinking of getting a couple of smart gadgets this Black Friday, the Echo + Philips Hue combo would be a good deal.

Though a bit expensive at $331.97, you can save around $53 with this combo and you get a Phillips Hue White, Color Smart Bulb Starter Kit, and Dimmable LightStrip along with the Echo.

3. Vondrix Wake Up Light Alarm Clock

Yes, sleeping is blissful. No matter how much we love to sleep, we have to wake up to the real world every day (bummer, I know!). If you find the ‘waking up’ part to be too hard, trust the Vondrix Wake Up Alarm clock to get you out of bed on time.

Though not a smart device, it does its job quite smartly. It’s an alarm clock, which mimics the movement of the Sun and wakes you up with gentle tunes.

4. Nonda iHere 3.0 (Gen 2) Tracker

Lose your car keys or wallet too often? Here’s a smart way to keep track of them. The nonda iHere 3.0 is a Bluetooth-enabled tracker that tracks your belongings from up to 75 feet.

All you need to do is install the gadgets at your place, get the SmartThings app on your iPhone or Android device and work the gadgets remotely.
