Smart home tech has come a long way in recent years. We now have thermostats that keep track of our preferences, video doorbells that let us thank a delivery person without even being home, and light bulbs you can dim from your phone. If you have all the gadgets but haven't dabbled in smart bulbs yet, there's a sweet deal at Amazon today.
As of May 5, a four-pack of the Amazon Basics color-changing smart bulbs is on sale for $35.59, marked down from the standard price of $41.99. That's a 15% discount that takes $6.40 off the normal price. The sale price brings the cost of each bulb down to just $8.90.
Ever wished you had dimmers on your lights? Your wish just came true thanks to the Amazon Basics color-changing smart bulbs. When paired with the Alexa app (free to download) you can set each of the four bulbs in this pack to a dimmable setting between 5 and 100% brightness.
That same app gives you control of your bulbs from anywhere. You can turn on the living room light before you arrive home from work or turn the kitchen light on from bed on dark winter mornings so you don't stumble over the dog on your way to the coffee maker. This feature is also great if you're away on vacation, so you can turn on a lamp at various times to give an indication someone is home. Kevin sure could have used this feature when his family went to Paris without him in Home Alone.
Once you've set up each bulb in the Alexa app, you can also control them via voice. Let Alexa know you want the hallway lamp turned off or dim bedroom lights to make it more suitable for reading. You can also choose between 16 preset color selections in the app.
If you're adding some smart home tech during spring improvements this year, now is a great time to integrate smart bulbs into the mix since they're on sale for just $8.90 each at Amazon. The color and scene-setting options are countless in the Alexa app and they're a great idea if you'll be away on summer vacation.
