Perks and Rec: Get your home at your fingertips for under $60

If you've been thinking about creating your own smart home, Labor Day weekend is the time to do it. Right now, you can get the Google Nest Hub (second-generation) for $45 off during Best Buy's Labor Day sale. 

As the little brother of the Google Nest Max, the smart-home hub packs a punch when it comes to functionality. The Google Nest Hub can help you control your smart devices, stream your favorite Taylor Swift album, and answer all of your burning questions. Plus, it offers sleep tracking, if you're curious about your snoozing habits.

Our tester loved the sleek and compact design of the hub, which makes it perfect for small spaces or those of us who want a smaller screen. They also loved the convenient gesture control, which allows the hub to read different motions for a variety of functions.

Want to dive into the smart-home-verse? Grab a Google Nest Hub today, and be sure to check out our list of the best Google-compatible smart home devices to build a smart home with even more capabilities. 

Happy Monday, deal lovers.
