Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

The chickens took a day to get used to walking through their new door. I put rocks on either side for them to walk through a bit easier because it is higher off the ground than they were used to. The door itself is great quality. Overall, easy to set up. I just found it a bit confusing because it came with screws for every attachment setup. Many screws and brackets were for attaching to the Eglu, which I didn't need. It would be good if those were organised and labelled for the different attachment setups. Once I figured out which screws I needed, which was only a few, it was easy. We didn't get an attachment kit. We wanted to figure out what would work best for our coop and use spare bits of wood if needed. We ended up just using some of the provided flat brackets and screws to attach to our coop, which has thick mesh. It is very sturdy. I use the timer setting because I feel that it will be more reliable than the light sensor. I have it set to open at 6:30 am and close at 8:30 pm. That was easy to set up. It takes 4 AA batteries, which go into the control panel. No batteries are provided. Instructions say to check batteries every three months. The control panel displays the remaining power, so that is great. The control panel requires unscrewing to change the batteries, but that will be fine. The chickens are now quiet in the morning and start about their day without us needing to get out of bed!

I’ve had to separate my chickens - some are very mean! Bought one automatic door for the naughty girls, so that I don’t have to rush up each morning to let them out of their house. We have had a fox kill quite a few over the years so we lock them up at night. Works so well, we bought one for the other girls. They work out how to go through in no time. Now we have peace of mind and makes it so much easier when we go away and have someone come in to check on them.

My Omlet door has worked perfectly for 3.5 years. I just replaced the batteries in it as well. Not bad considering I live in the Boston area with cold winters. I bought another door recently that locks the hens’ food safely at night in a plywood box I made.

We bought our first omelet chicken door to replace a cheaper manufacturers that simply wasn't reliable. It works so well we bought a second to expand our chicken's independence. Well worth the higher price.

Bought this to replace a vertical auto door that continuously would not open properly. I hoped that the horizontally opening door would close completely every night, keeping my chickens safe. It works so much better that I am buying a second Omlet door for the other side. It’s very good quality and easy to install. Highly recommend!

I love it ... have just purchased my second automatic door, I bought one a couple of years ago and installed it on the wire of my chicken house, today I installed my second door, on the doorway to the chicken sleeping quarters. It is comforting to know that my girls are safe at night and I can sleep in occasionally 😴

This door is amazingly simple to install and use. I have three automatic coop doors for my coops and this one was the easiest and fastest install. It was so simple and I liked it so much that when it was time to get an auto door for my Silkie Coop this was my go to door. The only thing I wish was that there could be a separate auto program for the coop light. It is set to come on 5 minutes before the door closes, but for Silkies they are so stubborn - it would be nice to be able the coop light to come on and go off on a separate schedule from the door. This way you could have the light come on independently of the door so they had plenty of time to get in and get comfy before the door closes. I use a smart coop light in my other coops and control the light with a schedule within the Phillips Hue app, but I didn't have electrical to add to my newest coop, so I chose to use the Omlet Coop light with the auto door. I really hope they take this request into consideration so that it might help other chicken owners as well. Aside from this small issue the door itself is fantastic and so easy to use!

I have never reviewed a purchase before. This product is outstanding. Arrived quickly, packed well, instructions very clear and easy to install. Have been using for three months without any problems. Why didn’t we purchase this years ago??!!!

I didn’t think I needed it, but life is so much better now. Chicks fell right into rhythm

Love,love,love this automatic chicken door. It is well made, works as stated and gives me the pleasure of heading out to the coup a bit later in the morning. I must admit after it was installed I went to the coup at dusk for two nights to be sure the door closed and the girls were safe. It works and on a farm it is always a treat to have one less chore.
