These are the Smart Home products I’m adding to my cart during the Black Friday sale

In my opinion, the best smart home devices should meet a few basic requirements before I buy them. They have to improve my life in some way, like saving me time or protecting my stuff; they must be easy to set up; and they must be affordable. TP-Link products regularly top our editors’ best-of lists, including the best Wi-Fi routers and the best home security cameras. For this reason, they meet my criteria, and what’s more, thanks to the frenzy of Black Friday deals, they’re even more affordable than ever, with discounts on dozens TP-Link products now on Amazon. These are the 10 items I am adding to my cart.

First up is the TP-Link RE220 Wi-Fi Extender, down to just $13 on Amazon. Normally priced at $35, that’s a 63% discount. I bought this exact Wi-Fi extender over four years ago when I started working from my yard (hey, it was the pandemic) and it’s still going strong. With this huge discount I’m adding a few to my cart. The RE220 also gets compliments in our 2024 best-of roundup as the best budget WiFi extender.
