SAVE $54.99: As of Nov. 10, the Alexa Smart Home Starter Kit is only $39.99 — that’s $54.99 off its usual price — at Amazon. If you've been thinking about creating your own smart home with Alexa, this bundle is a great way to start.

Is the whole "smart home" thing sounding more appealing? The Alexa Smart Home Starter Kit is a great way to get started at just $39.99.

This bundle includes a first-generation Echo Show 5 (which was $39.99 on its own, last we checked) and a Sengled Bluetooth Smart Color Light Bulb. With that combo, you can use your Echo Show 5 to turn your lights off and on and even change their colors. We imagine you'll be saying a lot of "Alexa, turn on my lights."

On its own, the Echo Show 5 can do plenty to make your day easier. It can help you cook, create to-do lists, make calendar events, and more.

You can play movies, TV shows, radio, podcasts, and audiobooks with your Echo Show 5. Alexa can also connect with your security cameras and adjust thermostats, if you want to make your home even smarter.
