Hello Krzychu,

Let's be honest for a second. The AliExpress 11.11 Sale is kind of a trap.

Prices get magically inflated in October just to be "slashed" on 11.11, and finding a real deal feels like a full-time job. It’s designed to make you panic-buy.

But not this year. This year, we have a plan. It's a two-part mission, and the first part starts right now.

Part 1: The "Warm-Up" (Nov 8 - Nov 10)

The "Warm-Up" period just began. This is the secret first step.

Your mission: Go to my new article and find all the smart home gadgets you've been dreaming of, and ADD THEM TO YOUR CART.

DO NOT BUY THEM YET.

Just add them to your cart. This does two things: it gets you organized, and it helps lock in any extra "add-to-cart" coupons that might pop up.

To help you find the right stuff, I've written what is probably the longest and most useful article of my life. Seriously, it's a monster. It's packed with my top Home Assistant picks for the sale—sensors, switches, hubs, presence detectors, you name it.

Check out the 11.11 Article Here: https://peyanski.com/my-top-smart-home-picks-for-the-aliexpress-11-11-sale-2025-home-assistant-friendly/

Use it as your shopping list.

Part 2: The Main Event (Nov 11 - Nov 19)

Then, you wait. The real sale starts on November 11th, and runs until the 19th. That's when you'll go into your pre-filled cart and see the final prices.

But how do you know if the deals are real?

That's where I come in.

On November 11th at 20:30 GMT/UTC, we are going LIVE on Youtube to hunt for trophies.

This won't be your average stream. We are focusing 100% on Home Assistant gear.

I'm bringing my "weapons"—price history trackers and other tools—to filter the real deals from the fake discounts. We'll find the good stuff, laugh at the bad, and build our smart homes for cheap.

I want to see you there. We’ll be navigating the chaos together, and it's going to be a lot of fun.

So, to recap:

1. Now until Nov 10: Read the article and ADD TO CART.

2. Monday, Nov 11: Join the LIVE STREAM at 20:30 GMT/UTC and let's hunt for deals together before you click "buy."

See you on the hunt,

Kiril

P.S. Why are smart home devices so bad at keeping secrets during a sale? ...Because they're always syncing (and winking) at your wallet.
