Don't Miss These Sales on Smart Home Devices on Amazon

While Amazon Prime Day doesn't kick off until July 12, there are plenty of fantastic deals to snag in advance of the epic annual 48-hour shopping event, especially if you're in the market for smart home devices. That means you don't have to wait another week to save big — we're talking up to 60 percent off — and make your smart home even smarter.

Here's another insider tip: The discounts were seeing pre-Prime Day aren't likely to get much deeper during the main event. Sure, you may save an extra few bucks next week, but you'll be competing with a slew of other shoppers eager to add items to their cart. Your best bet may very well be to buy now to avoid the rush before the smart home device you want goes out of stock. Also, if you aren't currently a Prime member, we suggest signing up now for a free 30-day trial Amazon Prime membership to unlock access to deals available exclusively to Prime members.
