Amazon have price matched this if you have Prime! Ordered from there
Unfortunately not & I believe the Kasa app is slightly better, has widgets and more detailed information. Still a great product though as these are half the price of the Kada ones (y)
I have one of these, works pretty well but requires yet another app :( (I must have about 10 different smart home apps now). Just note the power monitor function is far from real time and if you're internet connection goes out you'll have to manually turn it off/on.
No. Two seperate apps. Tapo and Kasa.
This looks identical to the one being sold for £5 in Poundland stores. (Just a different brand name). (I got one recently from Poundland & it works great - connected to Google Assistant too)

It got deleted anyway (annoyed)
Lol, nice memories brought back, thanks, although many people have lost the skill of the old ways, and the younger ones wold only electrocute themselves!!
The bluetooth has very limited functionality compared to using the bridge, but you get it cheaper elsewhere - I got 2 bulbs and the bridge in a starter pack for £25 a while back on Ebay.
If you get this then your stuff can do automations as well. Gets exposed to HomeKit/Alexa/Google for smarter integrations. The Bluetooth functionality is very primitive in terms of what you can do.
Since all my bits are the newer Bluetooth versions of bulbs / strips etc do I need this?



PLEASE DO NOT BUY EUFY SECURITY PRODUCTS. I know I posted this, but have been excitedly reading more detail since placing my order and found out that if someone steals a camera and then resets it then it disassociates itself with your account / Homebase and deletes all the video - so the evidence of the theft is lost along with anything else that has not been downloaded locally. This issue affects their cameras, doorbells and home security products. Detail about this flaw is here: https://communitysecurity.eufylife.com/t/major-flaw-delete-homebase-data-via-camera/903359/229 They just shipped my cameras, I've contacted them and the agreed to take them back and refund. More of a chocolate fireguard than security!!!
Add on camera also down to 89,99 — lowest I have seen in a while (although they do seem to be on some form of offer permanently). I have the 2K eufy doorbell which is fine (not perfect) so I am tempted by this. Heat added.

Smart Home: Get Cutting Edge Tech For Less
Is your home as intelligent as it could be? A few years ago, a question like that would have sounded very odd. But nowadays, everyone seems to be using smart speakers, lighting, alarms, cameras, and even microwaves, fridges, or washing machines.
Smart tech has entered the British home in a big way in recent years, and the choices available are dizzying, so we've come up with a quick buyer's guide to help you find the perfect smart home devices for every situation.
There are plenty of brands around, offering variable quality and features. But, there's an art to making a smart home cheap and functional at the same time. We'll try to point you in the right direction to get the balance right. But before we do, let's try to get to grips with the “Smart” phenomenon with a quick a look at the history.
How Our Homes Became Smart
Homes have only truly started to become smart in the past 20 years. Sure, wireless phones and even lighting control systems were available before then but they weren't in general use and tended to cost a lot of money. The current explosion of smart tech only became possible when homes were integrated en masse into the World Wide Web and the Internet of Things (IoT).
The idea of creating networks of interconnected domestic appliances was first floated in the early 1990s as the internet took off. Technologists at tech companies like Novell and Microsoft started to dream about home networks featuring lights, heating, security systems and much more, which were connected to the global internet at the same time.
However, the actual implementation of the IoT has occurred much more recently. Most experts trace its introduction back to 2008, when home wifi, miniaturisation, and the spread of internet-connected mobile phones made smart tech a commercial success.
Since then, brands like Philips Hue, Nest, Google Smart Home, Apple, Amazon Alexa, and many other products have made their mark, and customers in the UK can now control a huge range of devices with the swipe of a smartphone screen. But why would you do so? Before moving on to look at specific products, it's important to understand what smart tech can do, and why the buzz around it is so intense.

What Does it Mean for Homes to be “Smart” Anyway?
In a sense, homes started becoming smart when people added doors, windows, chimneys, and cabinets. Anything that enhances the functionality and potential of our interior spaces could be seen as smart - but that's not exactly what the modern term refers to.
Instead, smart tech relates to interconnected devices that use wireless networks and advanced protocols to create local webs that are integrated into the wider internet. The 'smartness' generally arises from the ability of users to issue voice commands or control devices remotely via mobile phones – offering radical new possibilities.
So as a working definition, smart technology includes networked products that take conventional household appliances or tools, and provide totally new ways to control and combine them.
The Benefits of Adding Smart Tech to Your Home
The advantages of this smart approach are potentially vast. For instance, if you are the kind of person who worries about security when you travel abroad, smart cameras can provide real-time footage from sensitive areas of your home, and smart alarms can let you know exactly who called or entered the property, when, and what happened.
Smart lighting offers new ways to fine tune the atmosphere of interior spaces, while permitting close control of energy usage – something that we can all benefit from in an era of climate change. Smart speakers let you calibrate the way you listen to music, streaming music from room to room without missing a beat, or including voice commands to switch playlists or radio stations.
Smart heating systems allow users to create schedules and change their thermostat on the way home from work. Smart coffee makers can be turned on from your bed as you snooze in the morning; smart TVs link to streaming hubs to deliver huge arrays of movies, games, and TV shows; smart plugs let you control ordinary devices with your phone – the list goes on.
In fact, the range of today's smart devices is so vast that it really helps to focus your attention. So let's isolate a few key areas and discuss what's available, the key brands, and why buyers should smarten up their home via hotukdeals.
Different Types of Smart Tech for the Home
As we noted earlier, smart tech now spans a huge spectrum of options, but some are more popular and functional than others. Here are the key product areas buyers will encounter at the hotukdeals Smart Home listings.
Home Security – Security was one of the first areas to receive a smart makeover, and the results have been impressive. This category includes alarms, sensors, cameras, and speakers, which tend to be integrated by specialist security apps. Leading brands include Netgear, Arlo, Yale, Somfy, Nest, and Hive. The choices stretch well beyond those names, but most offer similar options. For example, a Hive Smart Home system could let you add outdoor and indoor cameras, with cameras attached to a smart doorbell that record footage of every visitor. Users can deploy motion sensors where required, and use the Hive 360 Hub to control them, both on smartphones and laptops. With these products, you can lock down every weak spot and provide extra reassurance when you aren't around.
Lighting – Not all smart tech is concerned with limiting theft or intrusions. Some of the most popular smart home products involve lighting, offering exciting possibilities that go far, far beyond bayonet light bulbs. Brands here include Philips Hue, Lifx, and the low cost Tradfri range from IKEA. Hue is the most fully-featured of the three, offering full connectivity with Apple devices and they will enhance any smart home with Alexa as well. With an array of these bulbs, you can choose millions of colours, set up strobe effects, dimmers, and set schedules, all via instant voice activation.
Audio – Home audio tech has been an obvious target for networked smart solutions, and the major brands haven't disappointed. Nowadays, it's incredibly easy to set up a few Google, Bose, Amazon, or Sonos speakers around your house, providing all-over audio coverage and voice-activated music on demand. Most users will want to invest in an Alexa or Google Home hub to start things off – but they can branch out after that, as Sonos and Bose both cater to the major smart tech platforms. In terms of sound quality, Bose tends to be the market leader (especially when you rig up soundbars and home cinema systems along with smart speakers). But Sonos leads the way when it comes to creating home networks.
Kitchen – Even the kitchen has become smarter in recent years. Much smarter in many cases. For instance, fridges from GE and Samsung SmartThings come with customisable ice makers and hot water dispensers; they can be calibrated to offer different internal temperatures, have their lighting tweaked, and provide alerts when errors arise. Other options include smart toasters from Sage, the smartphone-connected Nutribullet Balance, and a host of smart ovens from Samsung and AEG. If you habitually forget to turn off ovens, only realising on the way to work, they will be the ideal solution.
Do those product areas exhaust the options when it comes to smart tech around the home? Not at all. Smart tech has found its way into the garden, thanks to automatic watering systems, robotic lawnmowers, and outdoor lighting solutions. Brands like Eightsleep offer beds with numerous comfort settings, while products like the Mira Mode shower add an extra dimension to daily bathing. Wherever you look, home appliances are being networked and enhanced.
How to Create A Smart Home System
If all of this sounds exciting (and it should), you might want to start designing a specially-tailored smart home system, instead of buying appliances separately and connecting them as you go along.
The key thing here is having the right infrastructure in place to add new items as you purchase them. This could mean installing a Google Home Hub, or one of Amazon's speakers to coordinate devices via Alexa. Apple's HomePod offers a similar solution, arguably with better compatibility for iPhone and Apple Watch users. But all offer the same concept: the ability to network diverse products on one network, through a single controller.
Additionally, it might help to invest in a few smart plugs. Belkin and Hive are good options to go for here, as they integrate well with the major smart home platforms, and allow users to turn ordinary toasters or kettles into semi-smart devices. With a strategically connected plug, you'll be able to tell even antiquated kettles to start boiling away, well before you arrive home in the evening.
Choosing the Right Smart Speakers
Planning also makes sense when creating a smart audio system – especially when expensive speakers are concerned. But which smart home speaker is best?
If you want the best possible audio quality, compatibility with as many types of device as possible, and 100% reliability, there are a few brands and models to look for at hotukdeals:
Sonos – Few smart speakers come close to the Sonos One, which blends audio quality, multi-room functionality, and easy control via Alexa, Apple Play, Google Home, or the Sonos app. Sonos have bundled in hundreds of global streaming services, including Spotify, so the choice of coverage is excellent, and you can easily connect Sonos One speakers to smart TVs if desired.
JBL – Slightly cheaper and much more portable than the Sonos One, JBL's collection is perfect for people who love to move speakers around the home. Extremely water-resistant (so ideal for bathroom listening), this Bluetooth range pairs up with all smartphones, laptops, and Google Home hubs, and streams Pandora and Spotify without a hitch.
Amazon Echo – Amazon's Echo range is a hugely popular option, thanks to its unparalleled Alexa compatibility, but the Echo Show offers something slightly different. Featuring a high definition screen on the flipside of its speaker, the Echo Show lets you see track details (and lyrics), and can stream from Amazon Prime Video, so it's a pretty amazing entertainment option – especially for the many users who choose to set up a smart home with Alexa at its core.
Google – You can't mention smart speakers without exploring Google's collection. Offering solid sound quality and impressive aesthetics, models like the Google Home Mini and Google Home Max offer great voice recognition, while the Max can generate some serious bass.
Bose – Famous for the sound quality of its home speakers, Bose has been slightly slower off the mark than Sonos and other brands in the Smart era, but is rapidly making up for lost time. Models like the Home Speaker 500 sound fantastic, sync seamlessly to Alexa and co., and also come with 3.5mm ports – a very handy addition for users of older MP3 players and stereos.
Things to Remember When Choosing Smart Home Alarm Systems
When picking smart systems to secure your home, it's important to make the right selection – not just the cheapest selection. Home security isn't an area where it's worth cutting corners, and at hotukdeals, you can pick up premium smart home security tools for bargain prices. Here are some things to bear in mind when making a selection:
Get the smart hub choice right is crucial, as the hub determines many aspects of your home security system. Good hubs can connect multiple cameras and sensors, and allow users to navigate them with ease via intuitive smartphone apps. They won't go offline or struggle with smart home device conflicts, and setup should be relatively simple, even for entry-level users. A good option is to use Google Home as the base, along with a Hive Hub that's linked to the brand's various cameras. That way, you can benefit from Google Assistant and the Hive App, which makes calibrating your security needs much easier.
If you find a great home security bargain at hotukdeals, make sure that the product concerned will work with your home's smart hub. Not all security tools work with Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit, so don't be stuck with a mismatch.
Alarm systems need to be loud enough to provide an alert and act as a deterrent, and easy to switch off when false alarms are triggered. So check security apps to make sure that the switching off process is hassle-free. Products like the Yale Sync Home Alarm offer a range of alarm styles and volumes (and can hook up to Hue lights to provide a flashing alert as well – a neat extra layer of deterrence).
More upscale home security systems incorporate monitoring services, which alert professional security or the emergency services should problems arise. This can be handy for owners of professional premises, or those who are worried about health issues, but will raise the risk of false alarms – so they aren't for everyone. Most people will do just fine with a doorbell camera, a few smart cameras, and a smart alarm.
How and When to Find Smart Home Sale Bargains
Now that we've introduced the major smart home devices and systems, and you have a pretty good idea of the brands in play, we need to focus on the meat of the matter: how to find the best possible smart home offers, which deliver the tools they require.
Don't assume that you need to start out small. Sophisticated smart home systems from brands like Nest, Google, Yale, or Hive can often be built for affordable prices. But you will need to shop smart, and avoid paying listed prices where possible.
For example, if you shop for a Hive smart home setup at the company's own homepage, the bills can start to mount. Even if you shop for Hive Welcome Packs, the cost will exceed £300, while basic Hive Security packages start at £220, and include relatively few sensors or cameras. Hive isn't especially expensive, and most major brands will offer similar prices.
The best way to avoid these prices is by hunting for smart discounts at hotukdeals. Sticking with Hive, you'll tend to find big discounts from merchants like British Gas (especially for the company's smart thermostats), and Amazon bundles Hive smart devices with Echo Dots on a regular basis.
The same applies to all smart brands. Google Home smart products are often available for less from merchants like Ao.com, Carphone Warehouse, eBay, and Currys.
If you plan your smart home system and want to buy its elements in one go, it may also make sense to time your purchases wisely. Black Friday is an excellent time to hunt for hubs, speakers, thermostats, toasters – you name it. And Amazon Prime Day in summer is naturally a great time to pick up Alexa-connected smart tech.
Enhance Your Environment with the Smart Home Offers Available at hotukdeals
Homes are becoming smarter all the time, but has your lifestyle kept pace with technological development? If not, it's time to shop for smart speakers, ovens, fridges, cameras, alarms and any other devices to enhance your home. The options are endless, providing radical new ways to secure, light, or heat your home. If that sounds appealing, be sure to head to the hotukdeals smart home listings for the latest deals on cutting edge domestic tech.


I'm guessing this is aimed at Leone who run their own ZigBee network.
This. It includes the box which is wired in to your boiler. You’d need to get a hub to get the full functionality. - D
I think that’s the white receiver in the picture rather than the hub
So it has the hub (white box) pictured all over it, but it's not included? :/
Hubba hubba hub...

I wouldn't buy anything else with BT they quite dodgy
£60 for a Pixel 6 (regular) trade in (lol)
Cheapest than actually in Google store
so its now about inline with what the EU countries paid at launch, very bad value in the UK. the 5g modem is trash and i hear lots of three users having connection issues, but for o2 on 4g its been a good experience. slower fingerprint reader but no accuracy issues for me. i got the bose headphones which i needed at the time, otherwise I would have passed on the stupid price. still too expensive though but hot for the relative price drop.
Are they giving away Google Nest Minis in boxes of cereal yet?

Yes, this seems to be the new version based on the model number, but the product photos have not been updated. Same model number as on: https://hueblog.com/2021/12/01/philips-hue-improves-its-motion-sensor-with-new-technology/
Haven’t got time to look now but is this the new version V2, longer range, hasa button on the back instead of a pin hole
Argos have 20% off all hue
They’ve jacked the price in the last week or 2. Pretty sure I bought mine at around £25 each. Check CamelCamelCamel

I was just looking at the B22 on amazon which has £5 of voucher (y)

I recommend it. I don't have issues with charging and the battery life is still great several months on
Is pixel 6 a good phone? Read bad reviews about battery.. (charging). Any one recommend it?
;( Still too much and I don't need the stupid nest thing. Now if this was Xiaomi this would be 5 min misprice at £299 with, Bud Bag And 10 pens (cheeky)
That sounds like a defect. Get that replaced under warranty. It happens to all phones, guess you were unlucky.
I have a P6 pro and the speaker stopped working, I can hear people but people can't hear me unless through my watch or headphones. Rubbish phone

#21.99 me
Coming up as £26.99 this morning
Energy monitoring? I hope it can count fast if it is able to measure prices of energy used! ORDERED and thanks
https://goughlui.com/2020/01/12/review-tenda-beli-sp3-smart-wi-fi-plug-not-beli-secure/ Presume most plugs are similar...
@RoosterNo1 also curious. Would like to know what my Meross energy monitor smart plugs use.


I like Xiam-alreet. Pet.
i wish they did the inkpalm in the west
Really want the 11t pro but sold out
Is this one use per account?
Jack ma want your money 💰


Brilliant, just ordered 8 Bulbs, two switches and two bridges for £186 using work discounts and an £8 voucher Argos sent me this morning! :D I'll chuck the bridges and switches on ebay! I spent more than that on 6 bulbs and a switch a few days ago so they'll be getting returned.
That b22 kit looks like a pretty good deal, under £20 per bulb with a switch and bridge.
Whats the best way to tell v3 lights from v2? There's conflicting info online, some say if the box states "richer colours" or the bulbs have gold text it means V3 however, some say that it needs to be 1100 lumens to be the v3 bulbs. These bulbs have both the gold text and states "richer colours" on the box.
5M outdoor strip for £136 (staff disc added too) so great price, thanks for postjng
My order isn’t ready till tomorrow so will collect in PM and report back which V I get.


Decent price especially if you are looking to add additional cameras to an existing Homebase system, works out around £73 a camera as opposed to £89.99 (y) .

£5 https://a.aliexpress.com/_uZX1mb
Exactly
This is exactly why I hardly work. Yes I never have money to buy the deals, but I never miss any of them :{
Bit pricey but hoping it will make a nice present for my Mum and got in before they sold out so thanks for posting.
That's a shame, I hadn't seen it had gone out of stock. Yeh it's unfortunate people spammed this with their opinion on the product and not the price. Shame the mod team didn't take action to deal with that. Perfect for you then pal, get one ordered (y)

thanks @andrewmarron for sharing your first deal with us :)
Look mate I just posted a deal. If you want to know something technical I suggest searching on the Internet. No need to be like that when someone tried to help. This is a deal site not technical support.
Do you know what Home Assistant is? It is an independent open source solution for people who like a free smart home solution, company independent, private etc rather than paid subscription product that also reports to some random servers about your home activity etc.
If connected to Alexa, what is the delay time after pushing the bell button?
Yes. It's fully compatible with Alexa and can be linked to the Google Home ones too. Although apparently you don't get all the functionality because Google want to push the Nest. You still get chimes and video though according to the website.

Did you actually read my comment?
the Beryl is just another great travel router (dual band one). GL.iNet routers in general have the best chance of overcoming captive portals than any other router let alone a travel one. You just need to do a bit of research: docs.gl-inet.com/en/3/tutorials/connect_to_a_hotspot_with_captive_portal/ Have you actually tried posting your problem in GL.iNet Forum as people there as super helpful as well?
Sorry, I thought this was the slate model. I've the slate and it works very well.
I had a GLiNet Beryl. Had to return it as the USB port would not work. I ended up getting an Opal as a replacement (by choice). It has a major problem. You cannot join networks that don’t have a password, which is 99% of hotels. Which if you didn’t know, generally use something called a captive portal. Try to join a network that doesn’t have a password and it forces you to enter one. Which obviously results in failure! GLiNet support is pathetic and just send you sound in circles until they agree to accept a return.
The "Slate" is also great as a travel router if your budget allows.


I don't need another one... I don't need another one.... I don't need another one... Still hot.
How did these compare to the Lenovo displays
Cheers, I didn't remember seeing this below £150. Defo not happening often. (y)
Below £150? Yes but not often. Last year it was £145 on ebuyer and £149 on BT Shop. I got one in November from Currys for £159 which should work out at £125.87 when the Quidco cashback finally pays out.
got a tapo one for 19,99 a while back this is a fool and their money price
Latest software is still supported on S3, I still use mine daily for sleep tracking and gym and have got the latest watchOS 8.6 which just released a few days ago. They also no longer have the issue with the updates being too big for the watch so that is no longer a problem, though I agree it should’ve never happened in the first place. Ive never had the issue with mine personally as it’s a cellular model which came with 16gb storage instead of 8, but expecting people to reset the watch to install a software update is very wrong.
And the fact that the sync box is wildly outdated in terms of today's HDMI spec, it's pretty disgusting pricing really. It's like Apple continuing to sell the Apple Watch Series 3 when the latest software wasn't supported on it and it had problems getting updates at all because Apple can't code properly anymore and their OS was too big for the pathetic storage space. But yes, give us £350 for obsolete tech. edit: Oh my god, they actually still sell the Series 3. I can't even...
If you're watching through PC then you don't need the HDMI sync box, just the Hue desktop app
Would a sugar mummy do.
