Amazon Prime Day is a good time to look for deals on smart home gadgets. Whether you’re just dipping your toe into the space, or you have a thriving smart home ecosystem in place that you want to expand, Prime Day deals usually come in clutch with good discounts. For 2024, we’re seeing a bunch of Google Nest devices on sale, some at record-low prices.
These gadgets are best for anyone who already lives within the Google ecosystem, especially those who already rely on the Google Assistant to help them get things done. You’ll find a few Nest security cameras on sale for Prime Day, as well as thermostats, video doorbells and Wi-Fi systems.

In addition to Amazon devices, Prime Day is typically a great time to pick up big-ticket items like tablets, laptops and robot vacuums, and accessories like power banks, streaming devices, Bluetooth speakers and the like.
You can pick up a Nest Thermostat for only $85 right now, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen all year. While it doesn’t have as many bells and whistles as the more expensive Learning Thermostat, it still provides similar energy savings and smarts. It’ll learn your routine so it can automatically adjust temperatures in your home when you’re away, and if you prefer, you can set temperature schedules yourself.
The Google Nest Wi-Fi 6E three-pack has dropped to a great sale price for Prime Day. It’s one of the top picks on our list of best mesh Wi-Fi systems, primarily because it’s pretty easy to setup and use, even for those who have never attempted to install their our router system.
That simplicity comes at the expense of extra features and customizations, but most who pick up this Nest system likely won’t miss those things. It provides a reliable, strong Wi-Fi signal, support for Matter and Thread and a number of handy Google Assistant integrations.
This battery-powered Nest Doorbell has never been cheaper. It supports HDR video recording with night vision, two-way talk and wired or wireless installation. Even without a Nest Aware subscription, you can get 3 hours of free event video history.
Like other Nest devices, this one works with the Google Home app so you can control it all in one place along with any other Google smart home gear you might have. It also works with compatible Google and Amazon smart displays to show you video feeds.
The wired Nest Security Cam has been deeply discounted for Prime Day. It’ll be best for indoor monitoring and it supports 1080p video recording with night vision, two-way talk and motion alerts. You can even set up Activity Zones to get notifications when motion is detected in specific areas of your home.
The Nest Cam also supports Home & Away routines, which will automatically turn off the cam when you’re home and turn it on when you leave so it’s monitoring at the best times. It works with the Google Home app, like other Nest devices, so you can control all of them in one place.
You can save a ton on a two-pack of indoor/outdoor Nest Cams for Prime Day. These are battery-powered, so you don’t have to worry about cables and you can place them almost anywhere you want inside or outside your home. They support 1080p HDR video and Activity Zones, the latter of which will send you alerts when motion is detected in specific areas. These cameras also have power-outage backup, which means they will store up to one hour’s worth of video footage during a power outage so you can see what you missed during that time.
