Verified Reviews for Smart Autodoor Control Panel

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.

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!

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!

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!

The switch to the new door and AP was very easy. Plug and play. My girls are still chicks and are just now settling into a nightly routine. So, for the next couple of weeks, I'm using manual mode. Very happy with this door and AP

Three units later, I am loving this new smart door opener! First one just opened the door; the second allowed a power supply vs just batteries. This one combines those and allows operation via your phone. I was able to get four right before I was leaving for several days to attend a wedding halfway across the country. I have 5 Eglu doors, 4 of which are used daily. I could turn on lights, open and close doors all the way from TX to VA. I could change the time from my phone, which means even at home I don’t have to go outside and go from coop to coop to make the change. I love them! Now, as long as they last and are dependable, they will be the best thing for chicken keepers!

Great product. Now I can monitor and control my door opening and closing even when I’m away. Great job Omlet!

I upgraded my original Autodoor with the new Smart Autodoor. It was a quick process of unplugging the old, plugging in the new, and following the app. I impressed that, despite a greater than recommended distance between my Wi-Fi source and the coop, I still get a good connection. One tip before replacing your existing control panel; note the opening and closing options you are using. I made slight changes from the default light levels and wanted to keep settings consistent. Chickens are such creatures of habit!

Omlet has done it once again! Innovative products for everyday chicken keepers. I’m BEYOND excited about this product!! I have an existing auto door and for whatever reason, one of my girls hasn’t gotten inside the coop more times than I’d prefer. When I’m out of town, there’s nothing I can do other than stress. Even when I’m home, it’s not fun going out in the pouring rain or cold weather to let them in. Having the door connected to an app on my phone is just what I’ve been waiting for! Switching the control panel was a piece of cake and so was setting everything up. It literally only took a few minutes and I’m now connected at all times. I love this company and I love this product!

One of the easiest and fastest smart product setups I've experienced. Seemed to work almost instantly. The new panel design seems somehow heftier and more impressive. The app connection means less time fiddling with buttons and more confidence that the door is operating as expected. The aesthetics are drastically improved.
