Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

The best addition we've made to our chicken coop is the Omlet Automatic Chicken Coop Door which ensures our chickens are secure and safe from predators inside their chicken coop at night. After bringing chickens into our backyard, it wasn't long before raccoons, skunks, owls, and other predators showed up on our property. The Omlet Autodoor is for chicken owners who want to take more responsibility for their chicken's safety with the added bonus of convenience. The high-quality door was easy to install on our wooden chicken coop and has been 100% reliable automatically opening and closing with a light sensor.

Fast delivery, easy to fit to existing hen coop. Works exactly as expected.

Automatic Chicken door has been reliable in opening in the morning light and closing to darkness. I installed the door when I assembled my Omlet 2. Assembly instruction were excelIent. followed the directions provided in English and was able to set up the automatic opening and closing of the door. I have the controls outside on the wiring. Survived rain, wind and ice, and continues to work well. I like being able to check on battery life easily. The coop light I purchased 2 months later after installing the Coop door. Directions provided I easily installed the light. Plugging it in to the Automatic coop door was easily done. What a great idea having one control to both the door and light work to together. The light is bright enough to see in the coop and shuts off automatically.

This has made my life a lot easier. So far, very reliable. I live in an area near open space with LOTS of predators around - from bobcats, to birds of prey and coyotes - nothing can get at my girls at night.

Very impressed. What a peace of mind. I know they are safe. I can finally sleep in. I don’t have to jump up worried they are pooping all over the place. The door opens at sun up and they pile out and stretch etc. 30 minutes after dark the door closes. It’s seriously so great knowing that the door is closed and they are safe on nights I get home late.

Put in on the duck coop. So nice that now the chickens and ducks all get turned out at the same time in the morning.

We ordered from Omlet but then saw the delivery was delayed. We didn't want to wait. We asked to cancel our order. Our order was cancelled and money returned right away, no hassles. we ordered an automatic door on Amazon, it arrived quickly. It looked very flimsy and my husband started the install, thankfully before he adapted our chicken coop, he tested the auto door from Amazon. it did not work. He could not get it to work. We quickly returned it and reordered from Omlet. We received it sooner than was expected. It was sturdy and worked perfectly. It was so easy to install and we did not have to alter our coop. We learned our lesson! Omlet has amazing customer service and superb products. Thanks Omlet! We are confident this door will work as it should every day & keep our girls safe. :)

We purchased this door to attach to hardware cloth between our small coop and large run. We wanted to have a larger protected area available when it starts to snow. This works beautifully. We plan to buy another for the coop.

It's obvious that a lot of effort has gone into the details of everything that comes in the box. The manual is heavy and clear, and the hardware is high quality. Although it does appear to work well on the light sensor with adjustments to the default values, I was surprised that there was no "Solar Time Table" function. The simple timer mode that opens and closes at a set time each day can't be of much use to anyone not willing to adjust the time frequently. With our install on a tractor, each location's shade and rotation, combined with overcast vs clear days mean a calculated sun rise and set time based on latitude and longitude would be our most reliable option. I expect we might see some trouble when the sensor is facing the garage which has lights that run after dusk on a Honeywell programable timer that ironically does do the solar calculations. Maybe a firmware update can be done.

The automatic door has been a game changer! I no longer feel stressed to let the chickens out in the morning or guilty when I don’t get home before dark. They took to it within minutes of instillation. Super easy to install and program.
