The beauty of smart home products, whether they are doorbells or cameras or light hubs, is that they can give you peace of mind. No matter where you are in the world, or even from the privacy of your own home, as long as you have your mobile device you can know what’s going on at your door and moreover, control it. There’s no better example than a smart lock, and no better smart lock than this one from August.

The primary convenience of this smart lock is that its deadbolt can be locked or unlocked from anywhere. Remember the panic of, “Did I forget to lock the door?” Gone. For good. But there’s way more to this device.

You never have to scramble or worry about keys again, for one. Your phone is your key. Also, the lock comes ready to work right out of the box — no additional hub needed. But let’s say you’re happy with your current lock, and you kind of like having your key; no problem. The August smart lock can be used to upgrade your current lock, so you don’t have to change a thing. What happens if you lose your phone; won’t you be locked out? Nope. The August smart lock lets you give backup keys to friends or family or anyone you trust. They can operate your lock from their phones; and you can cancel their access any time with the touch of a button. What’s more, the August Smart Lock is enabled to work with Alexa and Google Nest, so you can integrate it with your Smart Home system.

We’re seeing tons of great Cyber Monday smart home deals, making today a great day to upgrade your home — consider pairing this lock with something like this Amazon Echo Dot deal, or going the full nine yards toward a complete smart home with this Arlo Pro 3 security camera deal. Right now, you can get $40 off the August Wi-Fi Smart Lock. It’s down $210 from its original price of $250. You not only get huge savings, you get total peace of mind. Now that’s a deal, and you hold the key.

Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.

Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.

With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.

Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
