Settings
Sprigg's settings are organized into several sections, each accessible from the Settings page in the app. These controls let you fine-tune how Sprigg manages your lawn.
Property Settings
Core property information that drives Sprigg's analysis and recommendations:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Coordinates | Latitude and longitude — used for weather data, ET calculations, and seasonal adjustments |
| Timezone | Your local timezone for scheduling irrigation and displaying times correctly |
| Address | Property address for display and geocoding |
| Grass type | Species or blend — determines disease profiles, water needs, and seasonal behavior |
| USDA zone | Hardiness zone — used for seasonal transition timing |
| Region | Geographic region for climate-specific recommendations |
| Total lawn area | Approximate square footage of irrigated turf |
| Soil description | Soil type (clay, sand, loam, etc.) — affects infiltration rates and water retention |
| Property notes | Free-text notes about your property that the AI can reference |
| Expertise level | Beginner, intermediate, or advanced — adjusts the AI's communication style and detail level |
Watering Preferences
Fine-tune how Sprigg manages your irrigation schedule:
| Setting | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly water target | 1.0" | Base target inches of water per week. Adjusted automatically by ET, shade, and seasonal factors. |
| Max morning hour | 10 AM | Latest hour irrigation should start. Watering before the heat reduces evaporation loss. |
| Sunrise offset | -30 min | Minutes before sunrise to begin watering. Negative values start before sunrise. |
Zone Metadata
For each zone imported from your controller, you can configure:
- Category — Lawn, garden, or non-lawn. Non-lawn and garden zones (flower beds, vegetable gardens, trees) receive different watering strategies. The AI treats lawn zones with turf-specific disease management and water budgeting.
- Description — Free-text description like "Back yard, mostly shaded, slopes toward drainage". This context is passed to the AI advisor and improves recommendation quality.
Hardware details (precipitation rate, nozzle type, soil type, root depth, shade, slope) are automatically imported from your controller during sync and used in watering calculations.
Irrigation Mode
Toggle between Active and Audit mode:
- Audit — View daily recommendations without automatic execution. Best for new users.
- Active — Sprigg automatically controls your irrigation system. Requires a qualifying plan.
The mode can be toggled from the Settings page.
Disease Thresholds
Customize when disease risk levels trigger from the default thresholds:
- Low → Moderate — Score threshold (default: 30)
- Moderate → High — Score threshold (default: 55)
- High → Critical — Score threshold (default: 75)
Lower these values if your lawn is disease-prone; raise them if disease is rarely an issue. See the Disease Risk page for details on how scoring works.
Notifications
Configure how and when Sprigg notifies you:
- Urgent action alerts requiring immediate attention
- Disease risk spike alerts when levels change
- Water budget milestone warnings (behind pace, overwatering)
- Watering executed confirmations (Active mode)
- Controller error alerts (offline, sync failures)
- Weekly summary reports
- System alerts
Notifications appear in-app via the bell icon in the navigation bar. You can mark them as read individually or all at once.
Managing Properties
From Settings → Properties, you can:
- Add a property — Create additional properties (limited by your plan tier)
- Edit a property — Update name and configuration
- Delete a property — Remove a property and its data (your default property cannot be deleted)
- Switch active property — Select which property the dashboard and recommendations focus on
Account Management
Account-level actions:
- Change password — Update your account password
- Delete account — Permanently delete your account and all associated data. Requires password confirmation. This action is irreversible.
