10 smart home devices on Amazon you’ll wonder how you ever lived without

If you're one of the people who thought smart home gadgets were going to be another fly-by-night trend when they first started to emerge, don't worry. Hey, we all make mistakes. We can still remember all the "hot takes" we read after the first CES event that was dominated by smart home devices. Who wants a connected coffee maker? Why would anyone need to turn off a lamp with a phone? Well, at this point we can safely say that smart home gadgets are clearly not a fad. In fact, the exact opposite is most definitely the case — you can find pretty much anything and everything with built-in connectivity these days, and smart gadgets aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

It doesn't matter whether you're new to the smart home gadget space or your home is already littered with connected devices. In either case, there are always cool new things being released all the time. On top of that, long-time best-sellers are constantly being discounted over at Amazon, so something you passed up before might be a steal right now while it's on sale. In this post, we've rounded up 10 different deals on smart home devices that Amazon shoppers can't get enough of right now.

The TP-Link Kasa Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs everyone loves so much are the new version of the model that has been a best-seller for as long as we can remember. They're more compact than ever before and they retail for $27 per 4-pack. That is already about as much for a 4-pack as you'll pay for a single smart plug from other top brands. In fact, Amazon's own smart plugs retail for $25 each! As good as TP-Link's price is, however, you can save even more if you buy a set right now while they're 10% off. That means your cost per smart plug is only $6.07!

Oh, and what about the insanely popular MyQ smart garage door opener? It's selling for $29.98 right now on Amazon instead of its original $40 retail price, but there's a hidden deal that basically gets you one for free. Just take advantage of Amazon's Key promotion and you'll get a $40 Amazon credit. Forget free, you'll pretty much end up getting paid $10 to get one!

Those deals are great, and there are so many more great sales going on right now at Amazon. You can get the awesome SwitchBot Curtain that transforms any curtains into smart curtains and save another $10 when you get the SwitchBot Hub Mini that lets you control everything with your voice or smart home system. The brand new Wyze Cam 3 home security camera that people are going nuts over is already on sale for $33. You can also pick up a best-selling ThermoPro Bluetooth meat thermometer for just $36, which is a terrific deal. There's even a deal on Amazon that shaves $20 off the price of the Echo Show 5 when you bundle it with 3 Blink Outdoor cameras.
