Amazon is running limited-time smart home discounts on Sept. 30 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, including the Ring Floodlight Cam 2K at a record-low $100 (50% off). A CNET-rated Kasa outdoor smart plug is $20, and a four-pack of Linkind Matter smart bulbs is $67.
Amazon is discounting a batch of smart home security and lighting devices on Tuesday, Sept. 30, ahead of its Prime Big Deal Days sales event, including the Ring Floodlight Cam 2K at $100 — half its normal $200 price and, according to CNET’s deal trackers, a record low. The offers, rounded up in CNET’s daily deals coverage, also include a Kasa outdoor smart plug and a four-pack of Matter-compatible smart bulbs — and you can find more early home deals in our running guide.
The standout discount is the Ring Floodlight Cam 2K, cut from $200 to $100. The wired camera offers 2K video, motion-activated LED floodlights, color night vision, an adjustable 140-degree field of view and two-way audio with noise cancellation, according to the product details cited by CNET. It integrates with Amazon’s Alexa voice assistant, and because it is a wired model, it requires no battery changes. Ring positions it for driveways, backyards and business entrances.
The second offer is TP-Link’s Kasa Apple HomeKit Outdoor Smart Plug, down 23% from $26 to $20 — $3 above its all-time-low price, per CNET’s price tracking. CNET’s reviewers named it the best overall smart plug of 2026. It features an IP64 weather-resistant housing, a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi connection with long-range coverage, and app-based scheduling and remote control, which can help trim energy costs.
The third deal covers a four-pack of Linkind Matter smart light bulbs at $67, down from $112 — a 40% discount that works out to roughly $16.75 per bulb versus the $28 single-bulb price. The bulbs support tunable white light and full-color RGB modes, work with app and voice control, and use the Matter standard for compatibility across smart home platforms. CNET notes they add flexibility “without any setup hassle or long-term investment,” which the outlet says suits renters, students and first-time smart home buyers.
Why These Prices Matter Before Prime Day
Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s marquee October sales event for Prime members, and CNET notes there are already “tons of early discounts” available ahead of it. For shoppers, that creates a decision point: buy now at discounts that are already steep by CNET’s price-history standards, or wait to see whether the October event brings deeper cuts. The Ring camera’s $100 price matches its record low, according to CNET, meaning there is no guarantee a better deal will follow.
The discounts also lower the entry cost for home security ahead of the holiday season, when package theft typically rises. A 50% cut on a wired, floodlight-equipped camera is among the more notable security-device price drops in the current deal cycle.
CNET’s Daily Deal Tracking Method
The offers come from CNET’s daily deals column, in which the outlet’s commerce team monitors Amazon pricing and highlights selected discounts. CNET states that its deal writers track prices of tech gear and home products over time, which is the basis for claims such as “record-low price” and “all-time low” in Tuesday’s roundup. The Kasa smart plug’s standing as best overall smart plug of 2026 comes from CNET’s own product testing.
Ring is owned by Amazon, and its devices are frequently featured in Amazon’s own promotional events — a factor worth keeping in mind when comparing deals across brands during Prime Big Deal Days.

Deal Durations and Stock Unknowns
CNET describes all three offers as limited-time but does not specify expiration dates, and Amazon deal pricing can change or sell out without warning. It is not yet clear whether these exact discounts will carry into or be beaten during Prime Big Deal Days, which has not had its full deal lineup announced. CNET’s pricing claims — such as the record-low $100 Ring camera price — reflect its own tracking rather than an independent verification of Amazon’s price history.
Prime Big Deal Days Is Next Test
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is expected within days, per CNET’s framing that it is “around the corner.” Shoppers can expect a broader wave of discounts on smart home gear, including Amazon-owned brands like Ring, Echo and Blink. Anyone considering Tuesday’s deals can compare them against event pricing as it goes live. CNET says it combs through Amazon’s offerings each day for its deals coverage.
Key Questions
When does Prime Big Deal Days start?
Amazon has not announced exact dates in the material cited; CNET describes the event as “around the corner.” Historically it runs in early October, and early discounts like these typically appear in the days before it begins.
Is $100 a good price for the Ring Floodlight Cam 2K?
According to CNET’s price tracking, $100 is a record-low price for the camera, down 50% from its $200 list price. Independent price-history verification was not available in the source material.
Do the Linkind bulbs work with Apple Home and Google Home?
The Linkind bulbs support Matter, a cross-platform standard designed to work with major smart home systems including Apple Home, Google Home and Amazon Alexa. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their specific hub setup before purchasing.
Does the Ring Floodlight Cam 2K need batteries?
No. It is a wired model, which means it draws power from a household circuit and does not require charging or battery replacement. Installation involves wiring, so homeowners uncomfortable with electrical work may want a qualified installer, and the circuit should be shut off during setup.
How long will these discounts last?
CNET says the offers are available for a limited time but gives no end dates. Amazon lightning-style deals can end early if stock runs out, so prices may change without notice.
