Labor Day sales are packed with smart home gear, but a discount alone doesn’t make something worth adding to your house. I narrowed the current Amazon and Best Buy sales down to six deals covering security, climate control, and everyday convenience.
eufy Smart Lock E31
A smart lock is one of those upgrades that can make sense even if the rest of your home isn’t particularly smart. Best Buy has the eufy Smart Lock E31 for $124.99, down from $209.99. It offers fingerprint unlocking, keypad access, app controls, and Matter support, so it works with the major smart home ecosystems without locking you into one.
Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Plus
Amazon has knocked $60 off the Ring Battery Doorbell 2K Plus for Labor Day, bringing it down from $180 to $120. The 2K resolution gives you a clearer look at visitors and deliveries, while the battery-powered design saves you from having to wire it into your home. It’s an easy entry point into Ring’s security ecosystem.
Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen)
The discount isn’t the largest here, but the Nest Learning Thermostat remains one of the more compelling smart thermostats available. Best Buy has the fourth-generation model with a temperature sensor for $239.99 instead of $279.99. It’s also our best overall smart thermostat, thanks to its automated scheduling, larger display, Matter support, and energy-saving features.
Amazon Echo Show 8
The latest Echo Show 8 hits a useful middle ground between a tiny smart display and something that dominates your kitchen counter. Amazon has it for $149.99 instead of $179.99 for Labor Day. When Amazon introduced the latest Echo Show 8, we highlighted its redesigned display, improved camera, and Alexa+ support. It also works as a handy control panel for cameras and other connected devices.
Arlo Pro Outdoor Security Camera 6th Gen 3-pack.
For $199.99 instead of $299.99, Best Buy’s three-camera Arlo Pro bundle gets you much more coverage than buying a single security camera and expanding later. We’ve previously covered this exact Arlo Pro 6 three-camera bundle, which gives you 2K HDR video, color night vision, rechargeable batteries, and dual-band Wi-Fi. Saving $100 makes it particularly attractive for a starter security setup.
eufyCam 3 3-camera system
The eufyCam 3 bundle costs considerably more than the Arlo kit, but Best Buy is taking $205 off its usual $599.99 price. You’re getting three 4K outdoor cameras, built-in solar charging, and HomeBase 3 for local storage. That local-storage setup remains particularly appealing if you’d rather avoid making another monthly cloud subscription part of your smart home.
