At the risk of sounding dull, the key to the smart home begins with — in my humble opinion — the front door. Allow me to explain. One of the top recommendations I always give for people starting a smart home is to install either a video doorbell or a smart lock. When used together, they are a tour de force. You can let package couriers in temporarily to drop an expensive delivery inside your home — instead of having it sit around outside for hours. You can also issue guest or temp keys for family, friends, and beyond. Which brings us to the topic of today, Aqara’s smart locks. They do all of this and more and they’re on sale today for a pretty hefty discount.

The Aqara Smart Lock U100 and Aqara Smart Lock U300 are the focus today, and you can get up to 32% off at Amazon from now until December 22. The U100 is $130 instead of $190, while the U300 is $180 instead of $230. Let’s talk a bit more about what they can do.

With Apple Home and Home Key support, and plenty of automation through Aqara, including third-party devices, this smart lock is fully customizable. For example, you can sync it with ecosystems like Google Home, Alexa, or even IFTTT. It features an auto-lock and do-not-disturb mode, the latter of which mutes door lock sounds to keep the house quiet. You could also enable the always open mode which leaves the door unlocked, for when you know visitors are coming.

This smart lock can be opened via the built-in keypad, Bluetooth with your phone or app, and fingerprint — with up to 50 unique fingerprints stored. It’s powered by standard AA batteries, which should last for up to 8 months under standard use.

The Smart Lock U300, as you can see, features a more streamlined and modern design with the keypad built right into the handle element. It also supports Apple Home and Home Keys integration. Plus, it syncs with an Aqara thread-enabled Matter hub, Google Home, Alexa, IFTTT, and Samsung SmartThings. You can unlock it via the keypad, fingerprints, or your phone. You can also use an Aqara NFC card, but that’s sold separately.

It has auto-lock and do-not-disturb modes, and temporary passcodes, and it’s all easy to install.

Cyber Monday Milwaukee deals: up to 55% off M18 and M12 tools
Milwaukee M18 Inflator connected to a van tire.

Milwaukee is one of the most interesting of the big cordless power tool companies, simply because it just has great tools. For starters, the Milwaukee line goes above and beyond when it comes to providing quality — you'll see the brand represented among the best Cyber Monday drill deals, for example, and you'll also see them top out-of-the-way charts like our collection of the best portable tire inflators.

Simply put, Milwaukee gets the job done — regardless of the task at hand. At the same time, figuring out which line of their Cyber Monday power tool deals is best for you (the M12 or the M18) can be a bit challenging. While it doesn't sound too complex, one powers less powerful 12V tools while the other handles stronger 18V tools, if you've ever forgotten where your keys are you might also easily forget which Milwaukee line you're building up a battery collection for. So, take a deep breath before assessing these Cyber Monday deals, checking over what each one is, and maybe even hopping out to your garage to double-check what you have.
Our top pick: Milwaukee M18 Tire Inflator (Tool only) — $150 $310 52% off

ECOVACS top deal gets you $400 off a robot vacuum and all-in-one docking station
ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S robot vacuum and mop with AIO docking station

If you want to get your hands on a robot vacuum, window cleaning robot, or other smart home gear, you should definitely take a look at ECOVACS' entire Black Friday deals lineup. For this feature, we're going to highlight a single, specific deal that we're pretty excited about. Okay, maybe it's just me excited, but you get the point. The DEEBOT T30S robot vacuum and mop combo is the best-selling Omni robot in the country and for good reason. One of its best inclusions is the all-in-one dock that it comes with. This thing washes the mop with hot water, self-refills the tank, empties the dustbin, and much more.

What does that mean for you? Less time spent dealing with the vacuum and its maintenance. You can remain hands-off for weeks at a time, while the vacuum operates out of its dock and cleans the floors. Of course, you're here because of the Black Friday discounts and I don't blame you. Let's discuss.
