We’ve rounded up a few we think are worth adding to your cart as of Sept. 20.

Why we like it
One of our favorite smart locks for families with kids, the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro offers six different ways to unlock your door. Each person in your home can create a user profile and add up to two fingerprints per profile. In other words, your fingerprint is your key, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting it. There are also options to unlock by a passcode, voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant, a button on the Ultraloq app, location-based auto locking and unlocking, and of course, a regular old key. Plus, all you need is a screwdriver for its DIY installation. As of Sept. 20, Target Circle members (signing up is free) can get the WiFi-enabled U-Bolt Pro for just $ 144.49. And although the original price listed on Target’s website says $ 169.99, the MSRP is actually $ 179.99, making this a savings of 20%.
Best smart speaker deal
Why we like it
Like the Echo, but in smaller form, the Echo Dot is meant to seamlessly add smart benefits into your daily life. Its smaller design makes it ideal for a bedside table, shelf, countertop, or desk, and it can be used for everything. Ask it to set a timer, save a recipe, schedule a task, play white noise, call your mom, turn on your lights, set a reminder, or just play your favorite tunes. The 5th generation Dot features more vibrant sound, clearer vocals for phone calls, and deeper bass. While it doesn’t include Dolby audio like its bigger cousin, the Echo, it does feature new motion sensors and a front-firing speaker. As of Sept. 20, it’s on sale for just $ 34.99 a Target. That’s a savings of 30%.
Best smart air purifier deal
Why we like it
While an air purifier might not be on your radar as a smart home deal, voice-assistant support and the ability to control it with your phone make the Blueair Pure 211i Max 100 a solid smart home addition. See the quality of air in your home via quick readings on the LED screen or through the app at any time. A convenient Welcome Home mode puts your purifier in standby when you leave the home and turns it back on when you’re getting close. Plus, the RealTrack algorithm will inform you when it’s time to replace your filter. Slash 15% off this purifier built for extra large rooms as of Sept. 20.
