Are you looking forward to being more green in 2023? Well, it all starts at home. If you have a sprinkler system, it likely isn’t in use right now, but with a installed, the controller will automatically skip watering when it’s too cold as well as when it rains or is too windy. On sale from $80 in refurbished condition, you’d normally pay $178 at Amazon and today’s deal even ships with a 90-day warranty. We also have a wide selection of Tesla and e-bike discounts in today’s New Green Deals, so you won’t want to miss that either.

Head below for other New Green Deals that we’ve found today and of course Electrek’s best EV buying and leasing deals. Also, check out the new Electrek Tesla Shop for the best deals on Tesla accessories.
