We don’t know how long it will last – so we suggest that you snap up this Echo Dot deal now.

Smart lights are one of the most affordable smart home devices you can buy. They replace your existing light bulbs and connect to the internet, meaning they can be switched on or off and dimmed from your smartphone. However, if you’re not someone that has their phone to hand all the time, this bundle means you can simply ask Alexa, which is built into the Echo Dot, to control the light bulb for you.

As well as being brightened and dimmed, and switched on and off from a smartphone or by Alexa, the color of the TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Bulb included in this deal can also be tweaked to one of 16 million colors, making it great for creating dramatic lighting effects in your home.

TheAmazon EchoDot (2020) is the brand’s smallest smart speaker and totes an unusual spherical design that’s a departure from the look of the previous Echo Dot. While the sound quality won’t blow you away - the vocals are clear but it lacks a powerful booming bass - it’s the ideal device if you’re looking for a smart speaker to start your smart home journey rather than listen to music on.
