Smart Autodoor for Eglu Go Chicken Coops
Can my Eglu go auto? The new Omlet Smart Autodoor is specially designed for our Eglu Go and Eglu Go Up chicken coops.
No more early mornings or rushing home for bedtime. Now you can set your flock’s perfect schedule, without disrupting yours.
Tested to work to as low as -4°F and up to 150°F, our Autodoor can be powered with 4 AA batteries for up to 3 months.
You also have the option to connect your Autodoor to your WiFi and control it from your phone with the Omlet app. To do so, we recommend connecting the Autodoor to mains power with the cable provided. WiFi works best when coop is within 10m of your router
Frequently Asked Questions
You can choose between the light setting, i.e. choosing at which level of daylight the coop should open and close, time setting, i.e. setting specific times when you know your flock has returned to the coop or are ready to go out for the day. There is also a manual mode where the door opens and closes only when you press the button.
On the app you can also override your current settings by pressing “Open” or “Close”.
For safety and peace of mind, there is also a built-in failsafe system for opening the door completely by hand. You can find out how to do this by checking the instruction manual.
You can change which setting you’re using whenever you want, but it’s not possible to use different settings at the same time.
Even if you’re not planning on using your Autodoor in Wi-Fi mode, it’s best to make sure you have the latest updates on the control panel. Follow the instructions on our knowledge base to do this before you install the door.
Chickens are flock animals and creatures of habit, and in most cases they will go back to the coop within half an hour of each other at around the same time every evening. Observe your hens for a few days and make a note of when they tend to go to bed, and set the door accordingly.
Although both your flock and the Autodoor are very reliable, it's still your responsibility as a pet owner to check on your chickens every day to make sure they are safe and healthy, and have access to fresh water and feed.
If you have connected your Autodoor to the Wi-Fi, we recommend using the mains power supply you received with your door. This way your door will constantly be checking in and you will be able to use the door and the app as intended.
You can run your door on batteries, but to save power the door will only check in with the Wi-Fi every ten minutes. In between those moments you will not be able to immediately open or close the door. You can click the button to open or close, but the action won’t be performed until the next check in.
If you connect your Autodoor to a solar panel or any other type of power source, we will not be able to offer any warranty (expressed or implied), support or advice.
The Omlet App is available in the Google Play store for Android users, and the App Store for iOS users.

While the door is designed to work primarily with the Eglu Go and Go UP, it is possible to fit the door to an Eglu Cube Mk2 or Pro house. All attachments for doing this are included in the box. The door is not compatible with the Eglu Classic or Eglu Cube Mk1.
