Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

This door is amazingly simple to install and use. I have three automatic coop doors for my coops and this one was the easiest and fastest install. It was so simple and I liked it so much that when it was time to get an auto door for my Silkie Coop this was my go to door. The only thing I wish was that there could be a separate auto program for the coop light. It is set to come on 5 minutes before the door closes, but for Silkies they are so stubborn - it would be nice to be able the coop light to come on and go off on a separate schedule from the door. This way you could have the light come on independently of the door so they had plenty of time to get in and get comfy before the door closes. I use a smart coop light in my other coops and control the light with a schedule within the Phillips Hue app, but I didn't have electrical to add to my newest coop, so I chose to use the Omlet Coop light with the auto door. I really hope they take this request into consideration so that it might help other chicken owners as well. Aside from this small issue the door itself is fantastic and so easy to use!

The door works well and very strong. Only downside is I can't see a way of opening on a timer and closing using light. It seems to be only timer or only light.

I like this door. It works great and is easy to adjust the time if needed. The light is a big help. My only concern was that there were delays in shipping that were longer that posted at the time of my order. Otherwise it is exactly as advertised and a quality item. The side to side movement is a bonus over other doors.

Love this door and absolutely recommend it. It would be perfect if I could adjust the settings to use light at night when my hens go in by themselves, but be able to use time in the morning when I don’t want them out as early. My hens free range and I like for them to eat inside the coop for a few hours in the morning before heading out. Fuller bellies means less damage to my plants outside.

Easy install. If you buy with the rest of the coop install after putting the side walls and nesting tray in. The long screw for the light gave a little bit of grief, but went in eventually.

I would say that the quality of the product is 5 as it integrates perfectly with the other omlet products. Once you dial in the programming to how you like it, then it works. My only downsides are— no remote access like other products at this price, No solar option, and the night light has limited program options

The door works but there is a learning curve. I was also disappointed that I had to purchase a bracket to mount on my eglu separate. My only other criticism is that you have to do a lot of unscrewing to get to the batteries. I hope they get a solar option someday. But once you work it out, it is a quality product

I bought this for a new coop and run for some (6) young Buff Orpingtons. I have never used a light before. I hope this will help them get situated in the coop at night on the roosts.

I purchased this chicken door because it was recommended by multiple people. I did have to adjust my frame door size to meet the expectations recommended in the instructions. I prefer clearer instructions. However, once I figured how it was explained, I was able to put it together, by myself. I ordered the door with the light. But, the wiring for the light had separated from the connector. I originally emailed Omlet about my situation. They didn't contact me back in a timely matter. So, I contacted via phone. The customer service rep was pleasant and helped me with my needs. She sent me a new light. I haven't received it yet. But, I am hopefully it won't have the same issue. The chickens had no issues with getting used to the door opening and closing on its own.

I purchased the coop light for use with my automatic door. I’ll be honest, it’s pretty worthless for my chickens. I think it confuses them! My chickens are in bed prior to dusk and when the coop light turns on they start clucking and stick their heads back outside. That’s the awesome thing about chickens is that they have their own little internal light sensors! I gave it 4 stars as the light works perfectly! I just find it an unnecessary for chickens.
