If you are just getting into the HomeKit game, or if you want to automate even more areas of your home, Black Friday is the absolute best time of year to pick up smart home accessories.
Whether you’re stocking up on sensors or adding your first security cameras, there’s a Black Friday deal available that can save you as much as 40% off! Here’s our guide to the best HomeKit accessory deals that you can score this Black Friday.
Where to find the best Black Friday HomeKit deals
While Apple sells quite a lot of HomeKit gear, you’re probably already aware this it’s not necessarily the best place to buy from when it comes to price. You’re much more likely to get a great HomeKit deal at a third-party retailer like Amazon or Best Buy this Black Friday rather than going directly to Apple. We expect we’ll see a ton of stellar Black Friday HomeKit deals in the coming days and we’ll be keeping tabs on the best offers on this page, though the below retailers are a good place to start if you’re ready to search for some deals on your own.
When do Black Friday HomeKit deals begin?
Though Black Friday officially takes place on November 26, 2021, most Black Friday sales will have begun long before then. In fact, many are live already. That means you don’t have to hold out for HomeKit deals later in the month if you see some savings you want to snag right now. We’re expecting some of the production and shipping delays we’ve been seeing to impact holiday sales this year, so it might even make sense to shop earlier where you can, especially if you can get the deal from a retailer offering some kind of Black Friday price guarantee.

Best HomeKit speaker deals
When it comes to HomeKit-connected speakers, you basically have two options: the original HomePod or the HomePod mini. The former has been officially discontinued so your best bet for deals will be refurbished offerings and the latter rarely goes on sale. That being said, we’re hoping to see some Black Friday HomePod deals soon.
HomePod mini | Stunning Nanoleaf bundle at Best Buy
Not only does this deal include a HomePod mini with six months of free Apple Music, but it also comes with not one but two Nanoleaf Essentials Smart LED Lightstrips. You’ll get a 1M and a 2M strip, both offering white and colored lights. These lights usually retail at $75 for the pair but come with this bundle for less than $50.
HomePod mini | $40 Nanoleaf smart bulb 3-pack
These Nanoleaf essentials A19 smart LED bulbs come in a three-pack, usually for $50. However, if you pick up a HomePod mini at Best Buy you can get them for just $40. The lights work with HomeKit, so the HomePod mini is the perfect hub to control them with, making this bundle a perfect smart home starter kit.
HomePod mini | Just add AirPods (2nd generation)
If smart lights aren’t your thing, solve audio for at home and on the go by picking up this Best Buy HomePod mini and AirPods bundle. This will score you the 2nd generation AirPods (without wireless charging) for just $229, a saving of $30.
HomePod mini | AirPods with wireless charging
Very similar to the previous deal, this will net you a HomePod mini with Apple’s AirPods featuring a wireless charging case for just $259.98, a saving of $40 when bought together.
HomePod mini | Free Apple Music
If you don’t want to add any other products or indeed costs, you can just buy a HomePod mini at the regular price of $99, with Best Buy throwing in six months of free Apple Music. Even better, the deal comes in all five colors!

Best HomeKit security deals
There are a lot of security devices for HomeKit, from cameras to motion sensors and more. We expect that plenty of these accessories will go on sale this holiday season as people look to stock up. We particularly recommend using this time of year to make the most of Black Friday HomeKit camera deals as these devices can be pretty pricey the rest of the year.
Aqara Camera Hub G2H | 10% off
Aqara’s G2H combines a solid HomeKit Secure Video camera experience with Zigbee hub functionality that makes it so much more than its playful appearance and price suggest. Blazing fast live view speeds, and superb reliability, put it at the top of the HomeKit camera list.
Abode Iota Home Security Kit | $24 off
The Abode Iota Home Security Kit includes everything you need to get started with securing your home. This handy kit consists of a mini door and window sensor, key fob, and the all-important Gateway that houses a built-in camera, siren, and backup battery. In addition, Abode’s kit allows you to go completely DIY, or you can tack on professional monitoring for a small monthly fee.
Abode Smart Security Kit | $32 off
Just like the Iota, the Abode Smart Security Kit gives you a great start with professional monitoring or DIY security by bundling several accessories into one affordable package. This kit includes the Abode Gateway with battery backup, a mini door and window sensor, a keyfob, and a motion sensor. Unlike the Iota, however, the Gateway in this bundle lacks a built-in camera and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Best HomeKit lighting deals
Gone are the days of having just one or two choices when it came to HomeKit lighting. There are now several options on the market so you can get bulbs, light strips, panels, smart switches, and more. We’re hoping many of these will also go on sale this month so you can smarten up more areas of your home for less.

Best HomeKit button and remote deals
HomeKit buttons can prove incredibly useful when it comes to making smart home magic happen around your home, especially for places in your home where you’re out of range of a Siri device or a physical switch just works better.

Since it is a light switch, you don’t have to worry about finding the optimal place in your home, and with its constant power, you don’t need to replace batteries. It’s over half off right now.
