Building a smart home? You need this Nest Thermostat Prime Day deal

With this Nest Thermostat Prime Day deal, you can save $50 on the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, so you can build your smart home for less.

Prime Day is finally here! There are so many amazing Prime Day deals already doing the rounds — but we’re here to tell you about one of the best Prime Day smart home deals. Those on the lookout for a smart thermostat will definitely want to check out this Nest Thermostat Prime Day deal.

You’d normally pay $250 for the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, but with this Nest Thermostat Prime Day deal, you’re getting it for just $200, <strong>saving a whopping $50 off the regular price</strong> .

If you’ve put off getting a smart home thermostat over fears they’re too complicated, or waffled between buying the Google Nest Thermostat and the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, today’s go day. The best smart thermostats are simple to install and even easier to use, and the Google Nest Learning Thermostat is both these things.

There’s no need to worry about how to install this smart thermostat, as one of the best things about the Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat is that it’s easy to install by yourself, with the guidance of the Google Home app — no electrician required. It works with most heating systems including 24-volt forced air, heat pump with aux, dual fuel, and radiant systems, and once it’s installed, it pretty much takes care of itself.

The 3rd-Gen Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat learns how you use your home over time. Just install it, set the temperature you prefer, and within a week it will start adjusting your home’s temperature to suit your habits, preferences, and the time of day. It’s that simple. The latest generation includes Farsight sensors, which detect when you enter a room or walk past it up to 16 feet away, and you can have up to 10 additional sensors in other rooms of your home. You can also keep an eye on the temperature from farther away thanks to the 3.25-inch screen.

This smart thermostat can’t read your mind, but it can do pretty much everything else relating to keeping your home cozy. It can adjust the temperature half an hour before you get home from work, so you’ll never return to a cold, unwelcoming house, and it can provide peace of mind by monitoring your equipment. It’ll tell you if something isn’t working as it should be, send you service reminders, and even alert you if your home is dangerously hot or cold.

Saving energy with a smart thermostat is a breeze. Away mode switches to an energy-efficient temperature when you’re not home, and you can easily track your energy history and reports to see how much energy you’ve used over the past day, week, or month. The Google Nest Smart Learning Thermostat will even give you handy tips and suggestions for how to save energy.

All this technology comes bundled into a surprisingly sleek, good-looking design. The Nest Smart Learning Thermostat has no buttons, just capacitive touch controls on the edge of the thermostat. It comes in stainless steel, polished steel, or white to perfectly complement your decor.

Still can’t decide between this or the Google Nest Thermostat? This Nest Thermostat Prime Day deal offers excellent savings, and is worth every penny if you’re building a smart home.

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.
