Amazon is currently offering its Smart Thermostat for $63.99 shipped. Down from $80, today’s offer arrives at 20% off while clocking in at the second-best price of the year. We did see it drop $8 less over Prime Day, but this is the lowest otherwise and the first discount since. Expanding the Echo ecosystem with the perfect accessory to help get your AC automated through the end of summer and into fall, Amazon’s Smart Thermostat was recently released as an affordable way to command your climate control system with Alexa. Whether it’s for making it through the upcoming winter or you’re already looking to make sure you can avoid the heat waves next year, you’ll be able to set the perfect temperature through the voice assistant.

Amazon’s most capable smart speaker has been enjoying its place at the top of the Alexa lineup without any price cuts as of late, and now to start the work week we’re tracking the year’s second chance to save. The Echo Studio fittingly gets its name from the sort of studio sound you’ll be able to enjoy from its robust internal speaker system, and now you can do so with a 2023 all-time low. The smart speaker clocks in at $159.99 shipped in both the original charcoal style, as well as the recently-refreshed glacier colorway. Normally fetching $200 in either case, you’re looking at only the second chance this year to save with $40 in cash kept in your wallet. We last saw the speaker on sale back at the very beginning of May, for comparison.

Amazon’s flagship Echo Studio speaker arrives with a fabric-wrapped design that still keeps it at home in amongst the other Alexa devices from the company, while stepping up the design to fit in all of the higher-end audio components. There’s notably Spatial Audio processing tech packed in to deliver even more immersive sound from its 5-speaker system that comes backed by Dolby Atmos certification. There’s of course all of the streaming service support from the likes of Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify, as well as all the hands-free Alexa access you’d expect for controlling smart home gear, answering questions, and helping out in the kitchen. Then Amazon backs the smart home tech with a built-in Zigbee and Matter hub for an even longer list of supported devices. Dive into our announcement coverage for a closer look.

Much of the east coast right now is battling the effects of dangerous air quality from the Canadian wildfires. Stepping in to make sure your indoor space is safe from the dusty air, Amazon is now offering its Smart Air Quality Monitor for $54.99 shipped. Already one of the more affordable solutions on the market, pricing gets even better with a $15 discount from the usual $70 going rate. This is the third-best price to date, dropping down to within $6 of the all-time low last set back in December. Providing stats on five different factors of your home’s air quality, this sensor can monitor temperature, humidity, carbon monoxide, VOCs, and PM 2.5 particulate matter. Though it’s those last two that really matter for ensuring your home has safe air. It not only alerts you when conditions change, but will also let you automate the rest of your setup based on those stats. So when things get too hot this summer you can automatically kick on the AC, or use a fan to help get some circulation when the air quality drops down.
