It used to be that the first thing you did when you moved into a new home would be to paint, buy furniture, or decorate. And while those things are still important (I had furniture for my new house ordered before we even closed), setting up your smart home should be priority number one on move in day. Because in 2021, a doorbell isn't just a doorbell — it is a security system; and a speaker isn't just a speaker — it's a home assistant. So this year for the holidays, give these smart-home devices available at Lowe's while supplies last to the new homeowner in your life. Trust me, they'll appreciate a home that works smarter, not harder.
Google Nest Mini + GE Smart Plug
If there is one thing you can never have too many of, it's a Google Nest Mini. Scatter them throughout the house to play music, talk from room to room, or manage your daily tasks. This Google Nest Mini Bundle ($24.99) also comes with a smart plug, so you can turn any compatible device in your home into a smart device. Think: "Hey Google, turn my Christmas tree on."
Google Nest Cam
Help your family feel safe and secure with a battery-operated Google Nest Cam ($179.99) for your home. These cameras are wireless and can be used inside and outside, so you always know when something important happens at home. Check lowes.com starting Dec. 9 for promo pricing.
Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen)
No smart home is complete without a Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen) ($99.99) as command center. Look at your calendar, follow recipes, check who's at the door, and so much more when you have one of these set up in your kitchen. Check lowes.com starting Dec. 9 for promo pricing.
Google Nest Learning Thermostat
It may seem like a frivolous luxury, but a smart thermostat can truly change the way you live. The Google Nest Learning Thermostat ($249) does exactly what the name suggests and actually learns your habits and preferences, so you're always at a comfy temp. Plus, because it's set up to the WiFi, you can control it from anywhere.
Ring Video Doorbell
One smart home device that needs no explanation, a Ring Video Doorbell ($59.99) is the doorman you never knew you needed. This hardwired device allows you to see when packages arrive or when someone is at the door, whether you're at home or not!
