The August Smart Lock is an excellent piece of home tech that will give you secure keyless entry into your home with your smartphone. You will need an Alexa-compatible smart home bridge for it to work, though. 

This smart lock works with Amazon Alexa, but you're going to need a bridge for it to work properly. Luckily, you can get one of those on sale, too, for just $61. 

The main appeal of this device is that it will let you into your home with just your smartphone, so you don't have to clumsily fumble through your keyring when you get home. Plus, it's so easy to install, as long as you just have a screwdriver.
