Peace of mind is often just a security camera away, but kitting your home out from scratch is expensive. Thankfully, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is here to help, and you can now pick up Ecobee’s Total Security bundle for just $370. You’ll get a wired smart doorbell camera, a smart thermostat, a smart sensor and a pack of four smart sensors for doors and windows all in one package. The only catch we can see is that this price isn’t going to last for long, so consider ordering your security bundle now to avoid overpaying later.
Having a video doorbell to alert you of visitors is extremely convenient. This model is wired, which requires a more robust installation, but it also means that you’ll never have to worry about replacing or recharging batteries. It also offers a head-to-toe picture in full HD 1080p resolution, with 175 degrees vertical and 187 degrees diagonal field of view, along with auto-pan to focus on visitors or packages. It also has two-way audio for easy communication, even when you’re not home.

Smart thermostats can reduce your energy costs by wasting less of it when you’re not around, and Ecobee’s Smart Thermostat Premium won a CNET Editor’s Choice Award thanks to its many advanced features. Your HVAC will even turn off automatically if an entryway is left open for five minutes and you’ll get a notification as well. Air quality monitoring is another way this thermostat is helpful. It also has built-in smoke alarm detection. And with the system’s smart sensors in place, you’ll get alerts about possible break-ins. It can even show you a four-day forecast on the thermostat, which doubles as a Bluetooth speaker.
