One-day Amazon sale offers up to 31% off Meross smart home devices

As more of our appliances get smart, certain things we use daily begin to stand out and seem even dumber if they are not yet integrated into our Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant smart home setups.

Meross offers a number of accessories that can smarten up dumb devices, and a bunch of their most popular products are on sale at Amazon with prices starting at just $17. The deals are good for today only or while supplies last so don't wait on placing your order.

If you use your garage door a bunch, it makes total sense to give it the same smarts that you've added around the rest of your home with a smart garage door opener. Thankfully, the Meross MSG100 Smart Wi-Fi Garage Door Opener is discounted down to just $29.99. This sells for up to $36 usually and today's discount drops it down to one of its best prices ever.

Once up and running, it works with Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control and you can use the Meross app to turn your phone into a garage door remote. You can get notifications that let you know whether the door is opened or closed, overnight notifications that help remind you to close it, and more. The installation is simple as your order includes everything you need to get it hooked up. In just a few minutes you can take one of the most basic features of your home and make it that much smarter.

The sale also includes the Meross Dual Outdoor/Indoor Smart Plug. At just $21.49, this is a new record-low price for this product at Amazon. It's an IP44 waterproof smart plug that is equipped with two grounded AC outlets and works just like indoor-only smart plugs.

Both outlets are capable of being controlled separately or as a pair. You can control them using the Meross app from anywhere in the world, or voice control them using your smart speaker. You can also set custom schedules, work the plugs into your scenes, or set up automations for turning things on and off based on other conditions.

Meross is offering various smart light switches and dimmers that can add smarts to your existing lighting and save shelling out a bunch of money on smart bulbs and hubs.

Amazon offers free shipping on orders totaling $25 or more, though you could receive your order even faster with an Amazon Prime membership. If you've never been a Prime member before, you can start a free 30-day trial today to score free two-day shipping on this order. You'll also gain access to all of Prime's perks in the process, from the Prime Video streaming service to exclusive members-only discounts and more.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
