Prime Day 2024 is around the corner, and it’s one of the biggest events on Amazon each year. But what does this mean for you? First, the sales are real. Second, you can find lots of cheaper smart home products during these days. However, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sea of offers, making it hard to spot the top picks that are both highly usable and really discounted. I’m here to share my findings with you. Let’s start with the first item from my top smart home items list for Prime Day 2024.

1. Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug
The first item on my list is a smart Wi-Fi outdoor plug with two individual outlets coming from TP-LINK. This was found in an early access Prime Day deals mailing list. It works with Home Assistant, Alexa, Apple Home, and Google Home, and supports the latest Matter standard. This means you can control it with your voice or through home automations.
Features:
- Extended Wi-Fi Range: The signal reaches up to 90 meters (300 ft) in an open field and transmits 50 meters (164 ft) through three concrete walls.
- Weatherproof: With an IP65 weatherproof rating, it can handle outdoor conditions.

2. SwitchBot Water Leak Detector
Next on my list is the SwitchBot Water Leak Detector. This device alerts you via alarm sound, push notifications, and email if it senses even a few drops of water, allowing you to prevent a serious home flood.
Features:
- Battery Powered: Uses two AAA batteries that can last up to two years.
- Versatile Connectivity: Works with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. If you don’t have wireless connectivity, the 100dB alarm sound will alert you.
- Smart Home Integration: Can be paired with SwitchBot Hub Mini or Hub 2 to unlock cloud services like Alexa, Google Home, Siri Shortcuts, and SmartThings. Matter support is expected later this year for Home Assistant integration.
The usual price is low, and during Prime Day, it’s even cheaper. I already have two and might get more.

3. Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3
The Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3 is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart switch relay, perfect for automating lights, irrigation systems, garage doors, and more.
Features:
- Advanced Specs: New processor, more memory, and tougher terminals.
- Flexible Installation: Small enough to fit inside wall switches or sockets.
- Smart Home Integration: Supports local scripting, MQTT, and Home Assistant. Compatible with Alexa and Google Home for voice control.
I can’t recommend these smart relays enough, but be warned—I’m a bit of a Shelly-holic! The discounted price can be checked below:

4. Amazon Echo Series
The Echo series from Amazon is another top pick for Prime Day. These smart speakers are usually well-discounted or bundled with other items during the sales.
Options:
- Echo Glow: Great for kids.
- Echo Pop, Echo Dot, Echo Dot with Clock: Full features including Alexa Skills and voice responses.
- Echo (4th Gen) and Echo Studio: Superior sound quality and volume, with extra chips for managing Zigbee and Matter compatible smart devices.
Home Assistant integration is also possible either by using the Home Assistant Cloud or by using the way described in my article: Alexa Media Player in Home Assistant
5. SwitchBot Universal Remote
Finally, the SwitchBot Universal Remote can manage most of your smart and regular devices at home. It can control over 80,000 infrared appliances like TVs, air conditioners, speakers, lights, switches, and fans.
Features:
- Easy Setup: Simple model pairing process from a large database.
- Smart Learning and Button Learning: Add appliances by recognizing your device or manually mapping buttons.
- Matter Support: making it future-proof for Home Assistant integration.
If you get it with the SwitchBot Hub 2, you’ll unlock more methods for adding appliances and future-proof your setup. Below is the Prime Day price:
