Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

Purchased this for use with my large Eglu Omlet. The door is 100% worth the cost! I love the knowledge that my chickens are out first thing in the morning and that it’ll close each evening without any intervention. We are a very busy family and so it is a relief that it’s so reliable! I tried the light sensor but I felt like it kept them in the coop for too long in the mornings. Very satisfied with the night light sensor timing. I’ve decided to just use the timer. It’s very easy to change the open/close time and I just change it each month based on the timing of dawn/dusk. I’ve had the coop for 4 months and am still at 90% battery. I did purchase the coop light but I wish I hadn’t as it seems to just confuse them at bedtime to have a light on. Overall, highly recommend purchase of the automatic door!

Pretty easy to set up using instructions provided. Seems to work as promised so far! It’s nice to not have to run out first thing to let the girls out.

Exactly what I needed. Safety feature is great, tested it on my hand a few times. Love the light sensor setting and the additional coop light I added to the order. Great peace of mind knowing my girls are all safely tucked into bed each night. Install was quick and easy. Works flawlessly

As other reviewer stated, the pre-drilled pilot holes are too large for the provided screws. I had to toss the screws and go find some longer/bigger ones to make it work. Not a big deal, but it delayed my install and seems like a repeated problem that Omlet may want to address!

So I wake up early but not chicken early. I would always feel guilty about them having to wait to be let out when they were itching to go at dawn. They are in a large, fully enclosed run and I could leave the doors to their coop open but I would prefer to add that extra layer of protection - just in case. So in comes the auto door! Changed EVERYTHING! The chickens are out in the run at first light and I can make them some breakfast and go hang out in the coop when it's a little lighter. I can even sleep in some Sundays without waking with that panicked feeling that my poor girls have been trapped in their coop since daybreak.

I bought this door for the automatic opening with the daylight. Problem is that they set it so that it is a 20 minute delay before opening. I have it set at open at 1 (lowest it can go) and my chickens are waiting to get out for over 10 minutes. They have it locked down so that we can't change it. Why not make it 5 minute and then I can set to open at 15 or 20 on the light sensor and get it to open when I want. As it is I can't continue to use this feature and will have to go to programming a time in it every few weeks. That is until I find a better solution OR THEY FIX THE PROGRAM. PLEASE get an update out to us that lets US choose the time delay.

We bought the Omlet and the relief of knowing that my Girls = chickens are in at night is such a relief , it allows us to attend evening events and not have to worry or hurry home at dusk to lock them in , they adapted after (2-days ) and so easy to adjust AM-PM times as needed 100 % satisfied

Great product especially for them occasions where you stop over somewhere ????????

I got this door with the coop light about a month ago and everything is working great. I will give a another review when I see how it works in a North Dakota winter. Would like it if I could adjust coop light time on time mode. As of now I will be ordering a couple more doors.

It was easy to put together. A bit harder to put on my pre-fab coop, but that was more of an issue with the coop, not the door. It was super easy to set up and it works great. I would skip the light. If your girls are already going in the coop on their own at night, they don't need to the light. Definitely a life saver, now we can sleep in, forget, or go away for a couple of days without worrying about paying someone to open a door in the morning and evening. My only caution with this would be if you have big chickens or ducks, the opening is VERY small. It's fine for my EEs and green/olive eggers, but if you have large chickens or ducks, they may not want to squeeze in this small opening. It's about 55% as big as the defender coop door.
