Many plants are greatly over-watered.
Electronics such as this are usually asleep, drawing tiny amounts of power (we had one in a shipping container that needed it's battery changed no more than 18 months).

Further even assuming that it is very low power, just the energy and materials used to construct it blow away any notion that it is green.
This is an anti-green product. It is using products made via energy and chemical rich processes, then vampiring power, to solve a complete non-problem. It is novel, and it's right for HN, but the GP's point is completely on the money.
