Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

This door is very easy to install, and is working well for my flock! I needed this door to replace a wooden slider door that finally rotted away, on a home-built chicken tractor. To install the door I needed to reduce the size of my original door opening to match the dimensions needed for mounting the auto door, and the modification to my existing opening was the longest part of my installation process. The Auto Door is made of high-quality plastic and I am not concerned about any local predators being able to break in. The coop light gives off a good amount of light if I need to look in on the flock, and it is not so bright that it bothers the resting flock when I turn the light on. I also appreciate the flexibility of using batteries to control this door, since it is on a tractor, I don't need to run an extension cord or other power supply across the yard to be able to let the flock out for daily free-ranging time. The app is easy to use and I love that I get a notification when the door is opened and then again when closed each day. My only concern running on batteries is if I need to close the door immediately in an emergency. When using batteries the unit checks in for commands once every 10 minutes to conserve battery life. I appreciate this extending the life of the batteries; however, I feel there needs to be an emergency close option that would send a signal to wake the device and to shut the door immediately in case of a sudden predator attack, weather change, or another poultry emergency that requires the flock is secure within moments, not minutes. If the unit is plugged into a power source, it closes immediately, so this concern only pertains to running the unit on battery power. I am very happy with this smart auto door and could see myself getting another for my next flock expansion and coop build.

Got the door quickly and it was easy to install and seems to operate well. My only complaint so far has been the door size. I have turkeys and some fat ducks along with my chickens living together. Door size is tight for the turkey and larger ducks.

Tried a handful of other doors. None of them worked great. I was hesitant about this door just due to price. I eventually caved and bought this. The first week we had it , it was amazing. The second week we had it hurricane beryl hit , me living on the close to the coast of Texas we were hit pretty hard. This door worked perfectly throughout the whole hurricane. I highly recommend this door , it works amazing and definitely worth the money!

A good set of instructions and what looks to be a well engineered product, I suppose time will tell. Fitted to a custom chicken palace and operating on the timer option.

I’ve kept chickens for twenty years and I d always been there to see to my flock, or arranged for some one to lock them up at night for me, if necessary. I’d seen many automatic pop hole doors but some had very poor reviews, so I kept getting put off. However, reading the reviews on the Omlet auto door & then seeing the sale, I finally decided to buy one! Well! What can I say!! I should have done it years ago!! This piece of kit is absolutely brilliant & my girls have taken to it straight away! It’s a safe design & has a simple way to over ride the closing time of my girls are all in early, I can operate the door with a manual press of a button and they are in safe for the night! If I’m not there, I know they will be locked safely to bed! This gives amazing peace of mind! A brilliant addition to my coop ! Thank you Omlet for your ingenuity

Door was super easy to install and opens and closes great. It senses the sunlight and opens and closes once it gets to the right sun level

I had a Run Chicken Run door and had issues with the batteries dying. This door was really easy to install and works great. I love the app too.

This is the third Omlet automatic door opener I have ordered. They are a great product!

We added this to our wooden coop and it was pretty straightforward to install and easy to use. The auto open/close glitched the first day, but we basically disconnected and reconnected the operating panel and everything worked fine after that. Has been working like a charm for a month now and has made our lives so much easier!

Although not needed because the door comes with a bracket to install on wire fencing, I am so glad I spent the money. Easy peasy!
