Between Thanksgiving and New Year’s, guests come and go, packages pile up on the porch, the heat runs all day, and someone has to remember to turn off the tree lights every night. Black Friday smart home deals are a good chance to hand some of that off to a camera, a thermostat, or a few smart plugs. This year, The Home Depot’s Black Friday event already has deals on security, climate, and lighting gear from Ring, Google Nest, and Lutron, plus its own HubSpace line. Here are some of our favorite deals to look out for.
Ring Wired Doorbell Pro 4K
Package deliveries peak between November and January, and a lot of them show up after dark. Ring's Wired Doorbell Pro 4K records in 4K, sharp enough to read faces and license plates in low winter light. Ring makes some of the best video doorbells around, and of this year's Ring doorbell Black Friday deals, this one has the sharpest camera.
Ring's best doorbell records crisp 4K video with color night vision and up to 10x zoom. 3D motion detection sends more precise alerts when someone walks up to the door.
Blink Outdoor 2K+ 3-Camera System
Leaving town for the holidays is easier with cameras on the front, back, and side of the house. Blink's Outdoor 2K+ kit comes with three of them, and each one runs on AA batteries for up to two years, so nobody's swapping batteries in January. For renters, wireless kits like this are some of the best outdoor home security cameras you can find because they don’t need any wiring to set up.
Three weather-resistant cameras record sharp 2K video, show color at night, and zoom in 4x. Batteries last up to two years, so there's nothing to recharge all winter.
Google Nest Learning Thermostat with 2 Temperature Sensors
Heating bills go up once the clocks fall back. Google’s Nest Learning Thermostat learns your schedule and lowers the heat when nobody’s home. This bundle includes two temperature sensors, so the thermostat can keep a cold guest room warm too. Google makes some of the best smart thermostats, and this is one of the better Nest thermostat Black Friday deals.
Google’s newest learning thermostat sets its own schedule and adjusts to the weather outside. Two sensors help balance hot and cold rooms, and most homes don’t need a C-wire to install it.
Google Home Speaker
Smart home tech is a lot easier to manage when you have one device to manage all the rest. The Google Home Speaker lets you change the thermostat, turn on smart plugs, or dim the lights by voice, and one request can do all three.
Google’s newest smart speaker plays music in 360-degree sound and uses Gemini for voice control. One request can dim the lights, change the temperature, and start a playlist at the same time.
Defiant Smart Plug 4-Pack
Holiday lights have to be turned on every evening and off before bed. Defiant’s Smart Plug 4-Pack turns them on and off on a schedule you set in the HubSpace app. Plug in the tree and window candles, and they’ll run on their own through January. After the holidays, the same plugs work for lamps, fans, or a coffee maker.
This Black Friday four-pack turns lamps, appliances, and holiday lights into smart devices you can schedule or control by voice. No hub is needed, and each plug leaves the second outlet free.
Lutron Caseta Diva Smart Starter Kit
This smart version of Lutron’s classic Diva dimmer works with Alexa, Google Home, and Apple Home. The kit includes the dimmer, a Pico remote, and the Smart Hub, and no neutral wire is needed.
EcoSmart HubSpace Color-Changing Smart Bulbs (4-Pack)
Many homes switch from warm white light at Thanksgiving to red and green in December. EcoSmart’s HubSpace Smart Bulbs change between those colors from an app, and the four-pack is enough for a living room or dining room. Like the best LED strip lights, they can show millions of colors, but these go into the lamps you already own.
These four smart bulbs switch between 16 million colors and warm-to-cool white from your phone or by voice. Each one is as bright as a 60-watt bulb and works without a hub.
Hampton Bay HubSpace 24 ft. Smart String Lights
Patio string lights often go up in November and stay up all winter. Hampton Bay’s 24-foot Smart String Lights are weather-resistant, so you can leave them outside year-round. Party mode flashes the bulbs in time with music during a holiday gathering, but most nights you’ll just use the app to turn them off from bed.
Hampton Bay’s smart string lights have 12 Edison-style bulbs that change color and sync to music in party mode. Weather-resistant construction lets them stay outside year-round, and up to five strands link together.
