Amazon links are affiliate links: as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Links to makers' own stores and other retailers are plain links that earn me nothing.

Status on October 31: Amazon’s Black Friday sale hasn’t started. Black Friday is November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday is November 30. The tables below list 104 local-first products with the price to beat for each: the lowest Amazon price I recorded before November, Prime Day included. 8 of them match it right now. Prices update every morning; when Amazon’s sale starts, this page becomes the live list.

Short version: don’t trust a Black Friday percentage. Check the price against the “lowest I’ve recorded” column below. If a deal isn’t below that number, it isn’t a deal, however big the crossed-out price looks.

Every product here is something I run or recommend for a local-first smart home: it works with Home Assistant without the maker’s cloud, over Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread or a local Wi-Fi API. The prices are Amazon’s buy-box price for a new unit. I’ve recorded them since late August, so the history includes every Prime Day deal from October, and since October 10 they’re read every morning through Amazon’s product API.

What counts as a Black Friday deal

Counts asExample
Below the price to beatA real dealA sensor that bottomed at $12.99 on Prime Day, now $11.99
Equal to the price to beatA match: fine to buy, not a new lowThe same sensor at $12.99 again
Above the price to beatNot a deal, whatever the badge says$14.99 “20% off”

If a product drops below its price to beat before Black Friday, it’s an early deal: it moves to the top of its table and, at 5% or more below, into an “Early deals” table under the status line. When Amazon’s sale starts, this page becomes the live list: the last column becomes the Black Friday price, every table lists its deals first, and the best deals sit in a table at the top. Prices are read every morning, and again around midday during sale week.

What Prime Day taught me about this list

  • Most real deals were small, cheap sensors. Zigbee buttons, leak sensors, motion and door sensors at 20 to 35% below their usual price. Those are the things I’d wait for.
  • The cheap stuff sold out. Several SONOFF sensors were gone by the second afternoon. If something here hits a real low, it may not last the whole sale.
  • Some “deals” were marketplace tricks. One listing looked 41% off only because a third-party seller had priced it far above the maker’s own store. I measure against the real price, and I’ll do the same in November.
  • UniFi gear rarely moves on Amazon. Amazon listings for UniFi are often third-party markups. Ubiquiti’s own store is where its sales happen; last year it ran one from November 20 (see the maker section below).

Sales at the makers’ own stores

Status on October 31: I haven’t found any 2026 maker sales yet. No maker on this list has announced its Black Friday prices.

I check every maker’s store every day from November 1 through Cyber Monday, so a sale that starts before Black Friday shows up here the day it starts. Each one gets listed with its dates, any code or minimum spend, and the Amazon price for the same product next to it, and the status line at the top of the page says which makers have a sale on.

Early sales are common. Last year Reolink’s early sale ran November 13 to 19, more than a week before Black Friday, and Seeed’s started November 17. An early sale is listed as soon as I find it, with its end date. When it ends, the row stays, marked as ended, until the maker’s next sale replaces it.

Two rules for this section. A maker sale only gets a row if it beats or matches the Amazon price to beat for that product. And when the maker store and Amazon charge the same, the row says so: the maker link isn’t an affiliate link and the Amazon one is, so buy wherever you prefer.

What these makers did last year, so you know who to watch:

MakerBlack Friday 2025 at its own store2026
Ubiquiti (UniFi)Nov 20 to Dec 1, free US shipping; the Cloud Gateway Max went from $279 to $179 and the G5 Pro camera from $379 to $199Not announced yet

ShellyA free device on orders over $300 and about 20 to 40% off (US terms from a third-party write-up)Not announced yet

InovelliNo sale; Inovelli said it had no plans for oneNot announced yet
Nabu Casa (Home Assistant hardware)No discountI don’t expect one

Aqara, Eve and ThirdReality ran their 2025 deals on Amazon rather than their own US stores, so their prices are already in the tables above. I’m not tracking the big-box stores: their 2025 smart home deals were almost all Nest, Ring and Arlo, and I found no Black Friday prices on the local-first gear this list covers.

Home Assistant Black Friday deals: the prices to beat

These are the Amazon prices to beat, by category. The Buy column goes to Amazon; for a few brands it also links the maker’s own store. Amazon links are affiliate links and the maker-store links are not, so when the two charge the same I’d rather you buy wherever suits you.
