What products are in the list?

One more thing, before we begin, it’s essential for me to share that I focused on products that I like and I’m personally using.

On the other hand I don’t have some of the products in this Prime Day 2023 checklist and they are chosen, because they received a lot of good reviews from other customers and they are coming from a respected brands.

All of this is done In hope it will bring the best possible value for you. So let’s dive in!

A Tablet (Smart Home Control Panel) – #1 Item

The first discounted and well rated item for Prime Day 2023 is a tablet, namely the latest Amazon 8” or 10” FireHD tablets.

These tablets are running FireOS that is based on Android and you can use it as Wall Mounted Control Panel for your Smart Home or Smart RV as I’m describing in this article of mine – How to Create Your Own Budget-Friendly Smart Home Control Panel

This Smart Control Panel made from a FireHD tablet can run Fully-Kiosk app for example which can display Home Assistant dashboard in a kiosk mode making it a perfect control panel for any Smart Home.

And because this tablet is coming from Amazon you can expect great price reduction and probably best price for this year. There are some bundles that you can check out, but the cheapest one and the most recommended by me tablet is the Amazon Fire HD 8”, of course if you need more screen real estate, then get the 10” model and remember Plus models on both 8” and 10” models have some slightly better parameters and they can be charged wirelessly, but of course with slightly higher price. 

A Smart Lock – #2 Item

The next discounted and well rated item for Prime day 2023 is a Smart lock, more precisely a Yale Security Smart Lock. There are a bunch of Yale locks on sale right now and they all might be fine – https://amzn.to/3pty6T3

The one that I recommend, because it is confirmed working with Home Assistant is this one – https://amzn.to/43bNdOI

It has 4.1 Stars out of 5 from the other customers. It is also released in late 2022 so if you ever wanted a smart lock for your Smart Home now is a good time to jump in.

A Video Doorbell – #3 Item

Next Prime Day 2023 item is coming from Ring and Amazon and it is actually a bundle that contains a Video Doorbell and an Echo Show – https://amzn.to/3PLq2aH This bundle is discounted with the impressive 66% and I think it is a great deal overall.

The Ring Video doorbell can be integrated with Home Assistant natively using the Home Assistant Ring integration but Echo Show can be integrated easily only if you have a Nabu Casa subscription – https://www.nabucasa.com

That is the Home Assistant Cloud subscription that currently cost $6 per month. If you don’t have such cloud subscription the integration process is not so straightforward and require some efforts. 

A Smart Speaker – #4 Item

And while we talk about Echo devices I cannot skip the Smart Speaker flagman – the Amazon Echo series or also known as Alexa. These speakers are greatly discounted as well during Prime Day 2023. And they are all bundled with a free Bluetooth Smart Color Bulb.

If you just want to test the water and you don’t want to spend too much money you can try the Echo Pop, Echo Dot or the Fancy looking Echo Dot with LCD Clock.

On the other hand if the sound quality and volume is important to you, then you can go with Echo 4-th gen or Echo studio.

Along with the better sound that these devices have they have some additional chips inside that allow communication and managing Zigbee and Matter compatible smart devices.

A Curtain Robot – #5 Item

Next discounted item is a Curtain Robot that can make your existing curtains smart in seconds without the need for screws, nuts, or bolts or any modifications.

One of the Prime Day 2023 items is SwitchBot Curtain that is attached to a little demo curtain-rod on this picture

This Curtain robot comes from SwitchBot company which are making fantastic Smart Home items lately, and it is working with Home Assistant natively which is a big plus.

On top of the already available discount that you can find in Amazon, you can use the coupon code in the video description for 30% off during the Prime Day period and that is not bad at all.

A Smart Camera – #6 Item

Prime day will be gone in a blink of an eye, so don’t miss the Blink Cameras and Video Doorbells deals as there are some products with up to 60% off – https://amzn.to/3PKNrJh

The Blink cameras are usually having long lasting batteries up to two years, two-way audio and lots of goodies, but most importantly they are woking with Home Assistant using the native integration and in combination with the discounted price and the free shipping during these days it is a smoking deal.

The deal that seems the better than the rest to me is this one 6 camera system – https://amzn.to/3PLxwuq

I don’t know about you, but I’m always short of cameras and I can never have enough.

A Presence Sensor – #6 Item

Moving to the next Item which is a presence sensor coming from Aqara. The exact model is Aqara FP2 and I have a dedicated review about it listing all of its features and they are a lot.

My Aqara FP2 article – Should You Buy Aqara FP2?

With one sensor of these you can separate your room in up to 30 zones and then to make different automations depending of if there is a person in these zones or not. It is like you have 30 sensors in one. It uses a new millimeter wave technology that allows detecting very small movements like breathing or sitting still on a couch which makes it a a true presence detection sensor.

It can be integrated with Home Assistant using the HomeKit Device Integration, but there is one big problem with the Aqara FP2 –  it is unavailable since several months. It was completely sold out soon after it was released.

Hope the Aqara will manage to supply the demand at least for the Prime Day 2023.
