Philips Hue Smart E26 Light Bulb Pack

You’ll never have to walk into a dark room again after getting these Philips smart light bulbs. They connect to your phone via Bluetooth, allowing you to turn on and dim the lights on command. The compatible app even has “mood” settings, like warm Relax and bright Concentrate modes. 

Sierra Modern Home Smart Essential Oil Diffuser

Essential oil diffusers are a great way to create a soothing ambiance without having to light a candle. This oil diffuser from Sierra Modern Home takes it up a notch; unlike manual options, this device can turn on via your smartphone or on voice command. The large, 400-milliliter water tank provides up to 12 hours of runtime and disperses scents in medium-sized areas, like living rooms, per shoppers. 

GoveeLife Smart HEPA Mini Air Purifier

Air purifiers tend to be pricey, but this mini option from GoveeLife is on sale for $32. The HEPA filter traps small particles unsuspectingly floating in the air, like dust and pet dander. The compact pick is ideal for rooms up to 118 square feet, like an office or bedroom. And speaking of bedrooms, the air purifier is ultra-quiet on sleep mode, so it can clean your air while you snooze. 

Amazon Echo Dot Smart Speaker (Fifth Generation)

Forgo your earbuds when you’re at home and upgrade your listening with the discounted Echo Dot speaker. The Amazon device goes beyond a boombox—it can practically do it all. It’s a speaker to play tunes, an alarm to wake you up, and even a meteorologist when you’re wondering if it’ll rain.  

Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Plug Mini Pack

If you don’t have any smart gadgets yet, let this mini plug pack be your introduction. The plugs essentially turn any device into a smart one that responds to voice commands. Plug in your existing lamp, fan, or air purifier into the outlet and then ask Alexa to handle the rest. The plugs are so popular, more than 7,000 shoppers bought them in the past month. 

Govee RGB Smart LED Strip Lights

Shoppers love to display these colorful LED light strips in the corners of their bedrooms, under kitchen cabinets, and even behind TVs. While they work with voice command, you can adjust the colors, brightness, and overall mood via the app. One extremely cool feature? The strips can coordinate with your music to “play” along with the beat. 

Teeho Keyless Entry Door Lock

Forgot your house key? No problem. This Teeho door lock is designed with a classic keyhole and a pin pad that’ll automatically unlock the front door with the correct code. It allows for up to 20 codes, so each member of the family can enter without memorizing Dad’s “12345” code. The lock is available in three styles, including this rustic rubbed bronze option that gives modern farmhouse vibes. 

Amazon Echo Pop Compact Smart Speaker

The Amazon Echo Pop might be small, but it sure is mighty. The compact speaker works with Amazon Alexa to control home devices, play music, and ask a number of questions, like “What’s the traffic like right now?” The small pick is ideal for desks, nightstands, and side tables, but it can also be propped up with a compatible stand. Plus, the speaker comes in four fun colors, like teal and purple. Hint: it makes a great gift, too. 

Qinlianf Five-Outlet Wall Charger

Real Simple readers love this Qinlianf wall charger that replaces two outlets and gives you five. Yep, the compact charger brings five AC outlets that work with cords for your fan, speaker, hair iron, or laptop. However, the gadget also has three USB ports for your cell phone charger and AirPods, as well as one USB C port for lightning-fast juicing.

Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Light Switch

While this looks like an ordinary light switch, this pick from Kasa lets you take control from literally anywhere. Turn lights on and off with voice command or the app at a moment’s notice. What’s nice is the switch also has a scheduling feature to turn lights on at dusk or at your preferred time as a security measure when on vacation. While many use the switch for inside their home, several shoppers also like it for their porch lights, too.
