Smart Autodoor Control Panel Install
I installed the Smart Autodoor Control Panel on my chicken coop today, it was a simple swap from the old controller. I really like the app, and now I don't need to walk out to the coop to check the door.

Remote control realized
Due to predators and with my travels I'm so glad to be able to remotely open/shut and reprogram in the fly. My chickens are much safer. Thank you for providing the wifi remote capabilities. I would suggest adding solar panels and internal lithium batteries so that we can keep the panels always live and not require a nearby power supply for many of us w remote coop locations.

Love love love
I've had the omlet door for a few years now and it's been great when I'm out in the evenings knowing that the hens are safe without me physically doing it. I just upgraded to the smart door and man! It's awesome! It connects right to. Your phone. No more scrolling through every hour just to set the time or trying to count what time your coop closes in military time. I love that it alerts me when the door opens and closes and especially when it's blocked! So convenient! I highly recommend

Great experience!
Being able to upgrade just the control panel was a huge plus for me, I have two doors already and didn't need more. This gives me plenty of confidence in the product and company.
The app is very easy to use, I had some minor trouble with initial setup but chalk it up to operator error. I accidentally turned off WiFi on the control panel, and had to troubleshoot to find the problem. The user documentation might benefit some folks if it were not more
comprehensive.
The app does everything I want it to, and smoothly. I love being about to see when the doors are opening and closing. Remote door control is an epic feature, though I haven't had to use it yet because the light sensors work incredibly well!
For me the most useful feature is knowing door status without needing to go outside with a flashlight. I actually feel like I could go camping without a chicken minder now.
Thank you Omlet!

Very pleased with the ability to program the door remotely
An excellent idea I bought them as soon as I have the chance. As most people discover especially when you use the open and close by time function; as you enter the summer months of course the days get longer and the chickens come out sooner so you have to change the opening times and closing times of the door since the days are longer. In the past I would have to monitor this from some video cameras I have to determine what time the chickens were getting up so I can make sure the doors were open. Unlike most I use the two doors I have they go to my feeder box which has the two feeding bins in it. I have a different kind of door in my coop. Anyway though it's so convenient to be able to reprogram the opening and closing times from in stores without having to go out to the Run each time I noticed I need to change the opening or closing times based on the longer days of spring and summer. One suggestion I would have which would be great for me is if it would be possible to create the upgrade on the software so that one could create multiple open and close times. For people using this on a coupe it doesn't have much application but for me using it for my feeder doors it would allow me to create multiple opening and closing times which would be a great way to produce pilfering from squirrels and other creatures that occasionally access the feeders during the day. Anyway great product would love to see such a software update that would be terrific. Again I use these for my feeder box two of them inside a box with two doors for each feeder. Works really well. I typically use the time function because there's just too much variability with the light sensor function it usually opens way too late. But if you're using the time function or even I guess the manual function this is a terrific upgrade to your door.

Door opening timer
Good all round product but would be handy to be able to set the time in the morning (prefer them to come out at 7am in summer) and dusk setting in the evening. At the moment can't mix and match.

So easy to install/switch out!
I have an older Omlet door and I saw an email about this 'smart' controller. I thought how nice it would be to have this controlled by an app so I know for SURE that the door is open/closed. I learned that I could switch out the control panels so I ordered and got my package yesterday. It was easy peasy to switch out and get it hooked up to the app. I felt like superwoman. I had notifications overnight telling me it was checking in and this morning got a text at 6:30 a.m. that the door was open. This will be a heavenly peace of mind when we are away and during inclement weather. Thanks again, Omlet!

Wonderful addition!
We've had the standard automated Omlet door for a few years now but this new control panel somehow made it even better! It doesn't remove any of the best features of the original. Rather, adds smartphone control and a dedicated 12v hookup while keeping the batteries in as backup if you want it. Installation was ultra easy and all we had to do was unplug the old unit and plug the new one in. Super impressive!

Super easy setup if you have the original
We have the original model so it took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. The hardware and wires are the same. Connected to Bluetooth and then the door calibrated about 5 times. App is user friendly too. Good job omlet!
