Prime Day is the best time of the year to save on smart home accessories, with deals to be had for the best HomeKit smart plugs, light bulbs, cameras, and so much more. However, with so many options to choose from these days, picking one for the lowest price may not always be the best fit for your home.
As iMore's resident smart home expert, I have tested hundreds of HomeKit accessories over the years, so when Prime Day rolls around, I not only get to hunt for the best prices, but I can share my experiences so that you don't end up with a bad investment. Here are all of my favorite Prime Day HomeKit deals from this year's shopping event.

The ecobee SmartThermostat, our pick for the best HomeKit thermostat, gives you the ability to cool down your home from the comforts of your couch through the Home app and Siri. An included RoomSensor allows you to tailor the temperature based on the most critical rooms in your home — and not where the thermostat happens to be installed.

Smart cameras are a home security staple, and this two-camera kit from eufy makes it easy to keep an eye on your home with a completely wire-free design and support for HomeKit Secure Video. The eufyCam 2C streams and records in 1080p HD resolution, and an integrated floodlight allows you to see in color at night.
Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wired | 34% off at Amazon
If protecting your packages is a priority, the Arlo Essential Video Doorbell is the one for you. Arlo's doorbell provides a taller head-to-toe aspect ratio which gives you a better look at the ground in front of your door, and with HD visuals and HDR, you can spot all of the details that matter the most.

If you don't mind having a visible smart lock, the VOCOlinc T-Guard is a fabulous alternative this Prime Day.

When it comes to smart home lighting, nothing is more important than having a genuinely reliable system that everyone in the home can operate. After fighting for years with flakey Wi-Fi switches and smart bulbs that aren't so smart when the switch on the wall is flipped off, the Lutron Caseta line cured all of my home's issues with its incredibly reliable Clear Connect technology. While Lutron's products are pricey, you can get started with the best HomeKit light switches for less with this Prime Day deal.
Eve Water Guard - Apple HomeKit Smart Home Water Leak Detector | 20% off at Amazon
If you have ever dealt with water damage or flooding in the home, you know just how costly — and time-consuming, repairs can be.

Onelink Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide Detector | 20% off at Amazon
Like the Eve Water Guard, the Onelink Smoke and CO Detector warns you of potential dangers via audible alerts and Home app notifications.
