A smart doorbell is one of the most useful smart home devices to own. You’ll never miss anyone who shows up at the door, and you can talk to them even when you’re away, making it especially handy if a delivery arrives while you’re away.
There are also security benefits to consider, with the best acting as an outdoor security camera with motion detection capabilities. The biggest hurdle for most people is cost. If you can’t justify paying full price, this offer could be profitable.
Amazon is offering a half-price deal on a bundle that includes a Ring Wired Video Doorbell and an Amazon Echo Dot 5 (2022). That’s a £59.99 reduction on the £114.98 RRP, and it’s available now.
A slightly different deal is available for those in the US, with a pairing of the Ring Video Doorbell Wired and Echo Dot (3rd Gen) for just $58.98, down from $104.98.

We gave the Ring Video Doorbell Wired 4.5 out of 5 stars in our review. The Video Doorbell offers 1080p video with built-in night vision, advanced motion detection technology and two-way talk, and not only connects to your smartphone to notify you of visitors, but also to Amazon Echo devices.
This means you can set up your new Echo Dot to work as a door chime with the Video Doorbell for a more traditional doorbell experience, ideal if there are people in the house without the Ring app installed.

It’s not just a doorbell accessory though; the Echo Dot can control smart home technology, play music, answer general questions, and even make calls. Read more about the Echo Dot 5 in our review.
