Whether we’re ready for it or not, the smart home revolution is here. As we become more dependent on technology for work, entertainment, and mundane daily tasks like shopping, our tech devices are themselves becoming more interconnected. A smart home setup has many advantages, including letting you automate certain functions (such as lighting or climate control) and providing remote monitoring and control from the convenience of your smartphone.

Smart home ecosystems are also completely modular – your setup can be as small or large, or as simple or complex, as you like. They’re also future-proof, offering a lot of flexibility for you to add new components at your leisure. The first step is selecting a good hub to serve as the central point to which all of your appliances are connected and from which they are controlled. The Alexa-enabled Echo is a great option, and it’s the perfect time to grab one now that Amazon has released its new generation of Echo devices. To help you get started, we’ve picked out some limited-time smart home bundles that can kick-start your new smart home setup and potentially save you as much as $120.

Smart plugs are a great way to control your power usage, and like a smart thermostat, these devices can pay for themselves over time with energy savings. Wemo is one of our favorite brands and this bundle scores you an Echo Dot and Wemo Mini smart plug along with a 33-foot strand of 100 dimmable lights.

The starry light strand comes with a small remote and would be the perfect addition to your holiday decorations, or you can use it to create some cozy ambient lighting in your home year-round. The Wemo Mini smart plug bundle comes in at $101 on Amazon.

The Echo Show is one of Amazon’s newest devices, operating much the same as the Echo speaker lineup but with the addition of a color LCD display that lets you stream shows and movies, make video calls, and more. It also makes a great smart home hub, especially when paired with an IP camera.

This Echo Show bundle comes with the Amazon Cloud Cam, making it easy to create your own video feed. You can use the Cloud Cam as a baby monitor, security camera, or anything else you need an IP cam for, and can control it all using Alexa voice commands or your smartphone. This package is available for $300 on Amazon for a savings of $50.

Amazon’s Fire devices remain hugely popular as low-cost tablets, but they’ve typically been rather small with fairly basic specs – that is, before the Fire HD 10 was released. This one boasts a large 1080p, 10-inch display, finally putting the Fire in league with other tablets, and features the same hands-free Alexa capability as the Echo smart speakers.

Also included in this bundle are two Netgear Arlo security cameras. Unlike many other IP cameras, the weatherproof Arlo can be used outdoors. The Fire HD 10 + Netgear Arlo package is available for $396 from Amazon for a combined savings of $120 off retail.

Apple’s home hub could finally arrive this spring with a rather unique design

Back in October 2024, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that the home hub could borrow design cues from Apple's iMac G4, featuring a display roughly the size of two iPhones placed side by side on a circular base. Apple was also said to be preparing a higher-end version with a robotic arm, which could retail for around $1,000.
