Prime Day 2021 is almost here (it’s Monday, June 21, and Tuesday, June 22), and to get the party started, Amazon is already offering plenty of special savings in anticipation of the 48-hour event. In fact, you can score 27% off a wired Ring video doorbell and Echo Dot (fourth generation) bundle right now to make all your smart home dreams come true.

Amazon Prime Day 2021 is right around the corner! Want to know how to get the best deals? Attend our free, virtual How to Hack Prime Day live event. RSVP now.

Once $109.98, this pack is now $79.99, saving you $29.99. We’ve tested both products in this set before and ranked the budget-friendly wired Ring video doorbell ($59.99) as one of the best video doorbells on the market—and for good reason. We found this affordable option to be every bit as reliable and responsive as some of Ring’s more expensive models. Our senior smart home writer, Rachel Murphy, also praised its new customizable motion zones, which let her adjust the areas around her front door she wanted to set off the doorbell's trigger alerts. Spring for a Ring Protect plan ($3 per month), and you'll also be able to record and store videos for as long as 60 days—a great feature if you're traveling or out of town.

The new Ring Video Doorbell Wired is a great option to secure your front door on a budget.

Since this gadget is also functional with Alexa, Rachel could easily speak to or view whoever was at the front door through her Echo Show 5 ($49.99). Do note though, it’s not functional with Google or Apple smart assistants, and requires existing doorbell wiring to set up. If you’ve got the wiring, however, the process should only take a short 15 minutes. 

As for the Echo Dot (fourth generation) ($44.99), we named it one of our favorite smart home speakers. We liked this orb-shaped device for its compact, minimalist design, which was a big upgrade to the boxy shape of its predecessors. The audio quality was decent too, especially when paired with a second Echo Dot to simulate stereo sound—it even drowned out the sound of our tester’s kids scrambling around upstairs! Not to mention, it’s a great starter speaker if you’re looking to join a smart home ecosystem.
