Whether you want to get started with a DIY home security system or you’d like to smarten up a couple of areas in and around your home, Woot has just kicked off a must-see sale. Through July 1, it is discounting an array of Amazon-refurbished smart home devices from its various sub-brands, including video doorbells, alarms, sensors and smart plugs, with prices from as little as $12. Items may begin to sell out long before that slated end date, however, so it’s worth grabbing anything you want while you can. 

The Ring Video Doorbell Wired is a top pick at just $20 in this sale. It’s one of our favorite cheap video doorbells, offering all of the basics like a 1080p HD camera, live streaming, night vision, two-way talk and motion alerts. Another affordable doorbell on that list is the Blink Video Doorbell, also an Amazon subsidiary, down to $27. It offers similar features and a wire-free installation for those that need or prefer it. 

On the smart home side of things, you can nab an Amazon Smart Plug from just $12 refurbished, or get one brand new for $15. Usually $25, this Alexa-enabled plug adds voice control to any outlet at a great price, whether you want to turn a lamp on and off remotely when away from home or bring a dumb device into your smart home setup. 

Those are just a few examples from the sale, but it’s well worth taking a look at the entire selection with many other Ring alarm and video doorbell products in the mix, plus Amazon’s own smart thermostat.
