Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

My only complaint is they didn’t warn me on the expected wait. It took over a month to get. But the door works well and is easy to operate. I can let it open and close with ambient light, which you can calibrate the setting to, on a set custom time schedule or operate manually. Really no complaints. I have had it for two months now and it is working flawlessly. I am considering getting a second one for a separate coop area.

I’ve had chickens for eight years now and they’ve been free range with the coop just outside my back door. It’s been great except the the massive amount of free-range poop my incontinent miniature velociraptors leave behind everywhere. Want to sunbathe? Poop on the grass. Want to walk into the shed? Poop on the ramp. Want to sit on the porch? Poop on the porch. Enough was enough. I build a “chickshaw” a la Justin Rhodes and set the ladies up in a run inside our fenced in garden area. I knew from the start I wanted an automatic door so I didn’t have to go way out there every morning an night to let them out, and did a ton of online research before settling on this one from Omlet, and so glad I did. Setup of the hardware was very easy, installation to a plywood backer was straight forward, and the programming was a piece of cake. I spent the first few nights checking the coop to make sure it all worked and every time the girls were nicely tucked away with the door closed. I also bought the coop light and did have some confusion trying to figure out the timing of the “night light” feature. It appears they light comes on AT close then the delay starts until the door closes as poised to coming on the specified time BEFORE the door closes. I still might not have that right but it isn’t a big deal at all, and when I do want to check on them in the dark it’s a handy feature to have. It’s only been about three weeks but so far I am very satisfied with the product and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Bought the auto coop door and installed using factory preset. My chickens free range during the day. Door opens and closes at the correct time. Watched it for a week and am very satisfied. Feel good my chickens are safe.

I had searched high and low for days on "that huge online shopping place named after a South American rainforest", and kept coming up dissatisfied. Most of the products offered were cheap aluminum doors and frames and had mediocre reviews at best. One of the reviews suggested that people interested in buying an automatic door should save themselves time and just buy one from Omlet. I'd never heard of your company before, and I was amazed to see what your site had to offer. I ordered the Autodoor and it arrived just a couple of days afterwards, well-packaged and intact. Installation over my existing wooden coop was a breeze, and the Autodoor functions eggs-actly like it should! I had a couple of questions about the functionality, and your customer service department was prompt and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work!

I like it. I'd also recommend it if you're attaching the autodoor to a non-Omlet coop. However, the wood isn't coated for weather protection and this means that I'll definitely have to buy another kit, eventually. For this reason, I give an average review.

The door works great after figuring it out. The directions are mediocre at best. Thank goodness for the YouTube videos. Also it would be nice if the directions came without mixing all the different languages into one manual.

The omlet door works exactly like I hoped. It was easy to set up and I feel much better when I can't get home early enough to close my babies in!

Pleased with it overall, but battery indicator says 0% when they are brand new batteries. It is quite a simple control system so if there is a next generation it would be great to have the ability to have a mix of time and manual settings as an option, and the ability to set and control it through a phone app and perhaps even a webcam option so I can see what's happened.

I live in MN and as quite skeptical, but this door works great! Even when it got down below -20f it worked every time and the batteries still show 50% and i installed it in October and now its March. The only times it didn't work was when a chicken pooped right in the path of the door and it froze causing an obstruction , also i had a duck that just sat in the opening. Even after the door tried its 3 or 4 times to close and then stays open as a safety.The duck was not harmed. Both times not the doors fault. Im very pleased with it. I would recommend for anyone with a busy schedule. Now we dont have to look for people to let them out or close them up if we're not at home.

I ordered this after finding out my infant was ill and we’d be spending a lot of time out of town. Knowing the chickens were secure at night but free range during the day was a huge weight off my shoulders. We were able to have neighbors check on them but not worry about time restraints. Now we have had it operating over a winter and the batteries made it through to spring. I had to clear ice a few times; I don’t think there is really any way around that.
