Amazon Prime Day brought some amazing deals on Amazon devices that are sadly gone. If you don’t mind buying a refurbished device, you can still save a lot of money on some of the best devices on Amazon, ranging from smart displays to smart speakers.

There are some trade-offs: It can’t integrate with voice assistants other than Alexa, nor does it have native temperature sensors. Still, if you’re looking for a relatively inexpensive way to stay cool this summer, you can’t go wrong with Amazon’s smart thermostat.
