Smart devices make certain tasks a whole lot simpler. Smart locks help us keep our homes secure while providing the convenience of keyless entry. They are much more difficult to tamper with than traditional locks, which have keys that can easily be duplicated and locks that can be picked. You also won’t have to dig through your bag and pockets for a key. As part of its Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, Amazon is offering $52 worth of savings on the Nest X Yale Lock, which is available for only $219 instead of $270. (Amazon also has Black Friday deals on Google Nest cameras.)
When it comes to home security, Nest and Yale are both prominent names, and they’ve come together to give you a keyless deadbolt that can be unlocked with your smartphone or a unique pass code. When you’re expecting visitors or the occasional delivery man, you’ll be able to let them in even when you aren’t home.
As far as installation goes, you might not find the need to call for your local handyman, but our review notes that it could entail a lot of patience depending on your level of expertise.There’s no need to worry about wiring since it’s powered by four AA batteries.
Like most products from Nest, it flaunts a streamlined design and a look consistent with newer devices from Yale. A touchscreen keypad replaces the traditional lock-and-key system. Pressing the “Yale” logo illuminates the number pad, and “one-touch locking”can be enabled.
The Next X Yale lock comes with the Nest Connect module that allows it to connect to Wi-Fi. It’s also compatible with any device that has Google Assistant. With the integration of voice commands, you’ll instantly be able to save yourself a trip to the door. You can also count on the Nest secure alarm system to alert you in the event of a potential intrusion. Smart Locks no doubt make for a good first level of defense, and Amazon’s sale let’s you have just that, along with some peace of mind, for just $219.

Few things ruin a quiet evening faster than a robot vacuum roaring through the living room. Most of us end up pausing the cleaning run, which defeats the whole purpose of owning one. Matic thinks it has the answer with its new Serene robot vacuum, and the big selling point is how little noise it makes.
The Matic Serene runs at 52 decibels even when cleaning at full power. To put that in perspective, Matic compares it to the hum of your refrigerator. It is available now for $1,695, which is $200 more than the original Matic’s current price.
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.
