Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

This door has the wifi feature which I'm really liking. Our girls are older and more reliable and we don't need to always eyeball they all went to bed. So that was a nice new feature. I wish it could all be programmed on the app. It's still a bit clunky to program it. It feels like those old fashioned digital alarm clocks we had in the 80s. This is still the best company for backyard coops. The coop has kept my girls safe for years, alive in the winter and has many many years left in it. The modular aspect of all the accessories is nice as well.

Easy to assemble and fit. And quite easy to program. Saves traipsing down the garden in the rain and the dark to close the coop door.

We just installed the automatic door on our coop and it is super helpful so far. The girls seem to have gotten the concept right away. The one thing with installing is that we had to purchase alternate hardware to affix the door to our coop. The coop is Amish-built and wooden. The bolts and screws weren’t long enough to go fully through the walls. Otherwise, so far, so good. We’re interested in the auto-feeder next!

We know that chickens don't see well in the dark. At dusk, my girls would get stuck at the door because the first one couldn't or wouldn't go further into the coop. Then most of them would be locked out when the door closed. Usually, the light keeps things moving, because they can see where they are going. I no longer come home to find half of them hiding somewhere in the yard,

This thing is awesome makes taking care of our hens soo easy! The biggest issues I’ve noticed with this is that if a hen is in the way of the door that is trying to open, it will close with them all in still. I occasionally have to go out and manually open to door because of this. You have to clean the poop off of the tracks sometimes because this door opens horizontally rather than vertical. If we park the tractor too close to our safety light outside the door closes before the chickens realize it’s nighttime. These are not problems that are too big or annoying for the extreme benefits we get 98% of the time with this.

After some thought on how to fix the auto door to the Cube Mk1 I spent some time wondering how especially the top fixing as the picture instructions didn't really help, got there in the end and really pleased with the whole kit. Working well so decided to add the coop light which was really easy just plug and play.

How nice not to have to get up at the crack of dawn on what are now becoming chilly mornings. I do have to say that I switched from the light sensor to the timer because the door was not opening early enough. Perhaps if I had it on AC, instead of batteries, it would be more reliable, but the timed settings is working quite well.

I bought The Omelette door opener for capability of the Wi-Fi due to my health I have not installed it yet but once the humidity any heat cool down I'll get her installed and let you know how she really works.

I wish the door was a little bit wider, but I’d love being able to look on my phone to see that it’s closed and that I can set the timer for from my phone

The light works well and comes on to guide my girls to bed. It often takes around half an hour for them to all get in the house, so having a longer on time would be beneficial.
