One of the biggest problems with the concept of “smart homes” is that there are far too many standards. Some devices are only compatible with Apple’s HomeKit, some only work with Alexa, and so on. The category won’t be truly consumer friendly until there’s a universal standard out there, and the closest we’ve come so far is probably SmartThings.

The Samsung-owned sells a wonderfully reliable smart home hub along with a few SmartThings branded gadgets. Then it’s also compatible with any ZigBee, Z-Wave, or IP device, and tons more thanks to IFTTT integration. Long story short: If you’re building a smart home, this is the place to start.

Amazon’s Black Friday 2017 sale includes deals on every single SmartThings product, and it’s by far the best sale on smart home gear. The SmartThings Hub drops from $100 to $49, the awesome SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor is half off at $19.99, SmartThings Outlets are $33, and everything else has gotten great discounts as well.
