Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

My husband and I were able to go on a three night vacation and not worry that are chickens would be left out all night. We love our automatic coop door!

We set the timer for roughly sunrise and when we wake, the chickens are already pecking around outside. It's well worth it.

I have only had it a week, and works perfectly and was very easy to set up! Thank you Omlet

I debated on buying this, it seemed like an unnecessary splurge. I have kids that have been very good about letting the girls in and out. However, I ended up going for it, and I regret nothing! It’s so nice not to have to worry about something getting to my girls at night if I haven’t made it back to put them away on time. Our son plays a lot of away baseball games and it would be midnight many times before we could lock them up. This is such a nice addition. It was so easy to install that me and my 9 year old did it in just under an hour together. It may have been quicker, but our coop is a little trickier since it’s a prefab. We ended up installing it inside instead of outside and it’s been working fine that way. My only note is that the opening is just a bit narrow. My two bigger hens touch the sides of the door going in and out, so it could be just an inch or so wider but I’m not complaining, they do fine and I still love it.

I have been using these doors on all 5 of my chicken coops for over a year now. It really takes the worry out of my head when we come home late at night, and it allows me to sleep in on the weekends, without keeping my chickens hostage. I have had to cal l customer service twice in the last 14 months and both times, there was very little wait time and the rep solved my problem. I am also reassured that they have a 2 year warranty, in case a problem isn't fixable. The battery life is great--I just started having to replace mine recently and it's only 4 AA batteries, so pretty inexpensive. I like this better than electric ones, because power goes out sometimes. One note to users--For some reason, when the batteries are very low, instead of a "replace batteries" message, you get a "door fault" or "door blocked" message, but if you look under the message, you will see the 0% battery percentage. That has tripped me up a few times, but now I know to check that percentage before trying other troubleshooting.

Read many reviews and like many, we had early mornings and later nights tied up with opening and closing the coop- no chance of a lie in! However, that’s all changed now, chicks are out and feeding when I arrive and safely shut in at night- great product, super pleased with the results.

Bought this to try to encourage my chickens to get in their coop at night...and it did the trick! Very easy to operate and quick to install. Highly recommended.

We bought our first AutoDoor in November of last year as we had just adopted** Thor, a Frizzy cockerel and, initially needed to keep him separate from the three girls. I looked at the different sorts of door available and the only type that would fit was a side opening system... there is only one.... Omlet AutoDoor!! Door bought and fitted and has been working happily... the old coop is an isolation unit as Athena, one of the three girls, is a pecker! Sometimes it is necessary to keep someone away from her... currently Venus [our rescue chicken that was almost bald on arrival] We bought a second door last week to replace an existing door that had suddenly failed. When installed, I couldn't get it to recallibrate and the door just kept opening and closing [it worked perfectly on instalation, then I noticed that the Duracell batteries weren't good [despite having just been bought last November for the other door as a set of eight.... hmmmm?] so I changed them and that's when the door lost its senses. Went to "Chat" to discover that there wouldn't be anyone in until this Monday... OK, it was working on Manual in a certain fashion... could live with that. Checked my emails before going to bed and a customer services response was there... nice... I replied and on Sunday morning... please note... on a Sunday... there was a response with all the various steps I probably needed to take... followed them and the door recallibrated immediately and has been operating fine ever since! So, by the time I would have recontacted the "Chat" line.... the door was up and running!! Now that is what I call service. Thanks folks... happy chickens, happy me!! ** Thor crows... Thor crows a lot... Thor's crow is very high pitched..... the previous owner lived in a town.... Thor's crow can shatter windows! And probably tempers.... however, we are 500 metres from the nearest habitation [and two of them have cockerels, anyway.]

I wish I had bought this automatic door sooner! It was the best decision! We have a wooden coop and the way it connects to the run we had to install this door on the inside rather than the outside so we had to add a few boards to connect it properly. But it works perfect! I have it set to open based on the time. It was easy to program. I thought my chickens might be hesitant to go thru it since they don't like new things but they didn't hesitate at all. Best purchase ever!

Initially I figured, I'm always up early enough to let the chickens out of the coop, it'll be fine. A friend and experienced chicken owner urged me to get an auto-door, so I purchased this one. It's been wonderful! It was relatively easy to set up, is straightforward to use, and it's worked consistently for the last two months. Ours is on our Eglu Cube itself and opens into the fenced-in run. The girls love it.
