The yearly Amazon Prime Day starts today, lasting more than a day until tomorrow, acting as a mid-year Black Friday to boost Amazon sales further.
It is a great time to pick up products for any Amazon branded tech or its sub-brands, they are always heavily discounted. Echo and Fire TV devices are a particularly good buy on days like this, the Fire TV Stick 4K Ultra is an absolute bargain at £26.99.
With so many deals on, this list covers some of the best tech I have found for smart homes and security.

There is such a large saving here it is kind of annoying. There is no point buying any Amazon-owned product outside of these sale events unless you urgently need something.
This kit includes a Base Station, Keypad, one Contact Sensor, one Motion Detector, a Range Extender and a Ring Indoor Cam.
All the other kits are on discount too. A lot of people want the outdoor siren, the 11-piece kit that includes this is only reduced by 36%, down to £259, which is still a massive saving. Sadly, the outdoor siren by itself is not on sale.

One of the most well reviewed robotic vacuums from the options on sale. I have not reviewed this one, but I have always been happy with the eufy RoboVac models I have used. This is one of the slim models with a higher suction. It is Wi-Fi controlled but not the smartest of vacuums. There are no boundary strips or LiDAR mapping, you just set schedules, and it bounces around cleaning things.

If you want a robotic vacuum that can handle multiple rooms with mapping, then the iRobot Roomba R981 looks like a great choice. It is probably the most reputable brand in the business, so the RRP is a tad high, but at £329.99, this looks like a superb buy.
Alternatively, if you want the best of the best, then the iRobot Roomba i7+ is reduced from £799.99 down to £599.99, which offer full mapping plus auto emptying. Then there is the Ecovacs DEEBOT N8+ which offers the same functionality but a more affordable brand for just £491.98

I have not actually used the eufyCam 2C Pro, but the standard eufyCam 2C is one of my favourite battery-powered security cameras I have used. The Pro model ups the resolution to 2K, and I expect that it is superb. If you don’t need the higher resolution, the normal 2C is just £149.99.

I love the Arlo Essential Wireless Video Doorbell it is easily one of the best video doorbells on the market, easily comparable, if not better, than the Ring Video Doorbell 4 thanks to the 1:1 aspect ratio of the video. It is sensibly priced at £180, but at £120, it is an absolute bargain.

The Netatmo Smart Outdoor Security Camera has been out for a few years now, but it is still one of the best floodlight cameras on the market. For a start, it is a bit more aesthetic than most of the competition, then there are no subscription fees, and it does AI object and face detection.

I have not used the Arlo floodlight camera, but it is a sensible choice if you already use Arlo cameras. It is the only floodlight camera on the market that works on battery as well as being hardwired compatible. I am not sure what the real-life battery performance would be like, but hardwiring outdoor cameras is a huge hassle, so I can definitely see the appeal.

I am a fan of smart thermostats that offer zoned radiator control. If you live in a big house, it is zone control that will save you more money than the smart thermostat itself. The set-up can get pricey though, so this looks like a great deal for anyone wanting to get started with zoned control. tado° also have the individual valves on sale for £49.
