Every day we discover at least one new killer smart home device deal on Amazon as we get closer to Prime Day. Today’s jaw-drop Amazon bargain is a Prime Savings deal (look for the blue flag) on a

smart home entryway security bundle

that includes a third-generation Echo Dot with a Ring Video Doorbell Pro.

The Ring Video Doorbell Pro is Ring’s least obtrusive doorbell model, measuring just 1.8 inches wide by 4.5 inches high, by 0.8 inches deep. The Pro version doesn’t run on batteries by must be hardwired using existing conventional doorbell wiring. The Doorbell Pro records 1080p full HD video day or night when its advanced motion detection sensor senses movement. The Ring unit also sends an alert to your smartphone Ring app so you can view live video and talk with the visitor remotely using your phone and the Video Doorbell Pro’s microphone and speaker.

With the Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker included in this deal, you can use Alexa with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro for hands-free control. If someone rings the doorbell or when the camera begins recording the Dot lights up its alert notification ring and makes an announcement. If your smart home network includes an Alexa-compatible smart display such as an Echo Show, Echo Show 5, Echo Spot, or a Fire HD 8 Tablet in Show mode, you can view the doorbell’s live video stream and speak with visitors, tradespeople, delivery personnel, or intruders.

All Ring Video Doorbells connect with your home network via Wi-Fi. Unlike the original Video Doorbell, the Video Doorbell 2, and the Door View Cam, all of which connect via 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, the Video Doorbell Pro connects with either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz. The ability to connect with the faster 5GHz Wi-Fi isn’t only about speed, but for many people, it also simplifies installation and solves a frequent problem with the increasingly common Wi-Fi mesh home network routers that blend both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals. Mesh networks don’t connect well or at all with many smart home devices that require 2.4 GHz signals only during initial setup and configuration. Without going further afield on this topic, just know that you’ll avoid the potential pitfall of required 2.4 GHz with the Ring Video Doorbell Pro because it connects with either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi-Fi network signals.

Usually $299 if purchased separately, the bundled Ring Video Doorbell Pro and Echo Dot bundle costs $169 during this sale, a $130 savings. This deal is time-limited and ends July 14 at 11:59 p.m. PT. If you’re looking for a video doorbell, this deal is an excellent value, offering a premium video doorbell at an awesome price.

Best Buy is countering Prime Day with a killer Dyson hair dryer deal

Prime Day is here, and with all of the Prime Day deals to sort through, it can be easy to overlook deals taking place at retailers other than Amazon. Best Buy is getting in on the Prime Day discounts with a deal on a great piece of household tech. The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer was a pretty revolutionary product when it first hit the market, and today you can grab it for a massive savings of $100. This discount brings its price down to $330, while it would normally set you back $430. This Prime Day deal is exclusive to the vinca blue and rose-colored model, and with free shipping included it’s one of the best Dyson deals you’ll find during Prime Day.

Why you should get the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer
While Dyson is primarily known for making some of the best vacuums available on the market, it’s also known for ingenuity and innovation, and it brings both of those characteristics to the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer. This hair dryer is engineered to protect hair from extreme heat damage, yet is still able to dry it quickly. It does this by measuring air temperature 20 times every second, and keeping it under control. This process allows you to style your hair while drying, and its ability to focus air at high velocity allows you to style one section of your hair at a time.
