Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

The Automatic Chicken Coop Door with Coop Light is AWESOME! I should have ordered it when I first ordered my Eglu Cube a year ago. It works wonderfully, was easy to install, easy to program, and my chickens don't mind it at all! I'M FREE TO SLEEP IN ON THE WEEKENDS!!! Truly a blessing! Well worth it! You won't be disappointed! NOW DO IT! So freeing! Thank you Omlet for another well made product! I look forward to buying another Eglu Cube with the coop door and light...as soon as I can twist my wonderful Hubby's arm gently!

Bought this recently - mainly to make it easier to have the odd night away but actually have also found it great on a day to day basis. The optional light comes on five minutes before the door shuts in the evening which seems to encourage any that are still up to head up to bed. The light goes off immediately after the door closes which settles them down nicely. Because our run is covered, we find it easier to set to times rather than to daylight; it is easy to set. The auto door is great as often we are out to work before it is light so we can put the food in and then leave the hens safe until the door opens. At the weekend we can have a lie in because the door will let them into the run - they have water and we just pop the food in when we get up. This also has the benetit of keeping the house cleaner as if we are a bit late up they are not pooping in the house. The only downside we have found so far is that sometimes the rooster plonks himself in the doorway and refuses to move- in this case , the door will try to close a few times but if he stubbornly refuses to move the door will default to open. He is getting better at going in so we are hopeful that he will get the hang of it like the hens have. Usefully the display panel shows the battery status but it is not running down quickly despite the rooster doing his best to use it up. We deliberated for quite a while before getting the auto door but we are very glad we did. It isn't cheap but it works well. Omlet in our opinion sells great quality products and customer service (should you need them) is second to none.

We have had the automatic door attached to a non-omlet coop for over a year. We have it set to sun up and sun down. It has worked great, even in freezing Michigan weather. And we still have 50% battery. One of the screws came loose once and hindered it from working, but after tightening the screw, it worked perfect again. I recommend this for everyone.

The door works but there is a learning curve. I was also disappointed that I had to purchase a bracket to mount on my eglu separate. My only other criticism is that you have to do a lot of unscrewing to get to the batteries. I hope they get a solar option someday. But once you work it out, it is a quality product

I am so happy with the Coop Light- I can’t fault it at all!

Put on a wood coop. Was easy to install and works so easy. will be getting the heater and power supply from them

I bought the Omlet chicken coop door early this year. I live in Eugowra NSW and with the recent flooding, my Omlet door and controls were completely submerged in very fast, strong flowing water for a number of hours. The door has not missed a beat, still works like new. I love my Omlet Automatic Chicken Coop Door!

Extremely impressive. 10 times better than I expected. The quality of the product is outstanding. The manual is Very concise Very ikeaish thought I was starting War & Peace???? as for the light… could be a bit brighter but again top quality. Unfortunately foxes are an issue here where I live so creating a lockdown place will save lives. Overall thrilled with my purchase. Only downside is the motor quite loud during operation ???? 9.75 out of ten.

Based on Research and talking to others, overall I think this is the best chicken door I found. Suggested Improvements: - closing the "cubbies" created with the framing to strengthen the frame and door so they don't provide a home for bugs - Add a latch to cover on controller to make more weather resistant so wind does not flip it open - Add a way to change batteries without needing a screw driver. - Separate Mode into 'Open Mode' and Close Mode' so they can be any combination of the available modes. - Add an option to add a variable delay to the open mode, especially for time mode, but for light mode too. - - predators are good at learning when the meal door opens when the time is consistent. A variable delay with a 0 to user selected number of minutes would help avoid teaching predators when to be there to get a meal as the door opens. Overall a good door. Better Instructions.

I’ve had this door since spring 2021 and it works great. I’m on the same set of Energizer Lithium batteries with over 60% battery still left. This door has never failed except when ice froze on the door. I opened it manually and then blocked water from getting on the door in the future. This door works horizontally (yeah) and there are no strings to break like some vertical doors out there.
