The most popular smart home device on sale for Prime Day 2020 right now is by far the TP-Link Kasa Smart Plug. In fact, it’s so popular that shipping estimates are now delayed by a month (don’t worry, it’ll almost definitely ship sooner than that). This awesome device is widely regarded as the best Wi-Fi smart plug in the business, allowing you to add smartphone and voice controls to all the “dumb” devices in your home like lamps, fans, and space heaters. They cost as much as $17 on a regular day, but 4-packs are down to just $26.99 for Prime Day. That’s just $6.75 each for the best smart plugs on the market!

You should absolutely pick up a few packs of TP-Link’s top-rated smart plugs while they’re on sale at such a great price, but there’s an even deeper Prime Day discount available on a different smart home gadget that will blow you away.

You might not have ever heard of it before, but the MyQ Smart Garage Door Opener is nothing short of brilliant. It’s a simple little gadget that takes 10 or 15 minutes for most people to install, and it adds smart connectivity to something you might never have considered adding smart connectivity to: your garage door. Have you ever run out of the house so quickly that you weren’t sure whether or not you closed your garage behind you? Have you ever need to let a friend or delivery person into the garage to drop something off while you’re out? Or perhaps you just hate dealing with those annoying keypads that never seem to work on the first try. Whatever the case, the MyQ Smart Garage Door Opener lets you control your garage door from anywhere in the world using your smartphone or even your voice, and you can also tie it in with your smart home system.
