The upside to a smart home: life becomes that much easier. Voice controls, plus quick access to the news, weather, music, security devices, and more can streamline home life and even help reduce unwanted stress.

The only downside: it makes Home Alone seem really boring. Have you’ve seen Google’s hilarious new ad starring Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin?

But if you’re trying to get started on bringing your home into the current century, what devices are best to get started? Verizon has the answer.

The Google Home Hub is $129.99 right now from Verizon, which is $20 off the original price of $149.99. More importantly, you also get two Google Home Minis for free with purchase of the Google Home Hub. (All items must be in the cart)

As the name implies, the Hub is meant to be a one-stop device for all your smart home needs. Aside from typical functions like checking news and weather or looking up videos, it can be linked to over 5,000 types of compatible smart devices to control them. This includes TVs, security cameras, lighting systems, and more. Voice activation means Google will always be at your side and you’ll never feel alone.

And with two Google Home Minis, you won’t be locked down to one room for functions. While video functions may still be limited to the Hub, there’s still plenty that a Mini will easily handle on its own.

Just make sure to act fast, the bundle is only available for Thursday, Dec. 20.
