Get 2 for $40 off at Walmart
In this day and age, even your bathroom scale and light bulbs can be smart. It’s safe to say P.A.T. would be shook right now.
When your living space is filled to the brim with all these newfangled smart devices and gadgets, it’s worth doing your research to find a great smart home hub that’ll serve as your control center.
The thing is, the market is pretty over-saturated at the moment. How do you sift through the myriad of smart home options without feeling, well, dumb?
Here’s a deal that’ll make your decision way easier: Walmart is having a sale on the Google Home Mini, a small-but-mighty smart home assistant with a remarkably compact design. For a limited time, you can get a pair of them for less than $60, which is like getting two for the price of one.
Available in the light gray Chalk finish, the pebble-shaped Google Home Mini comes equipped with the Google Assistant, which works with more than 1,000 other smart devices from over 150 well-known brands. Just say the phrase “Hey, Google,” followed by a command, and you can have it connect to compatible devices to adjust your home’s temperature, alarms, lighting, and more.
You can also ask the Google Home Mini personalized questions — “Hey Google, when is my date tomorrow?” — and with the help of voice recognition technology, it’ll check your schedule, travel information, and the like to provide an accurate answer.
With a pair of these little guys inside your abode, you’ll take full advantage of the Google Assistant’s functionality and convenience — like playing music in different rooms, or broadcasting a message to your partner while they’re on the other end of your apartment. (Guess that cliché holds up: Two is *always* better than one.)
A single Google Home Mini costs $49, but you can get a pair at Walmart for only $58 — a savings of 40%.
