Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

I recently purchased the auto door. It's easy to install and to set up the control panel. I'm using the timer function, it would be useful to have the ability set the door to open on specific days of the week. Other than that, no issues. The door is great.

I purchased this door in September 2022, and I absolutely love it. I am also very impressed with the quality! We have had to change the batteries only once in that time. We have had two events where something became lodged in the base of the door frame and it wouldn't stay closed, but aside from that this door has been incredibly reliable. We recently purchased another coop, and will be keeping two flocks, and I will be purchasing another door soon. Thank you, Omlet, for a quality, dependable product.

Absolutely love my new chicken door. It is the best investment. Easy to install and set up. Having the app makes it even better. My chickens love it too and only took them a day to work it out.

I bought 2 other chicken doors before this one. One didn't allow adjusting light levels to open, the other just didn't bother to close the door at all if the internet was down. Like, if there is no internet, maybe if I sacrifice the chickens it will come back up. Both also had buttons right at the door face and I have smart raccoons. They pushed the button on the first one and opened the door in the middle of the night. No such problems with the Omlet. Works with or without internet, opening based on light level is adjustable, and the light sensor and manual door open control is a separate unit that closes. I would have saved some cash if I would have spent the money and got this one first.

Really pleased with it we’ve got setup on the light sensor option. Which it great and you can adjust the light levels which it opens and closes at. Very happy Bantams!

I was on the fence because it is an extra investment but it was so worth it! I've had my flock for a month and wasn't getting out early enough for them. Once I installed the automatic door they were getting out into their run an hour or two earlier and it had helped them settle in so much more. I have four hens and they are no longer snippy with each other and are getting along so much better, I definitely think it's because they are getting out that bit earlier! Also at night I don't have to worry about them as much, I know the door has closed and it is safer than the wooden door that was there before. I installed it onto a wooden coop and it was quite easy to do, just took maybe 30 minutes of my time.

Has worked perfectly so far. 2 weeks in.

I've tried a few different automatic coop doors. Decided to splurge and purchase this after our last one didn't make it through the winter. Time will tell more about durability and long term use. Initial thoughts are that it's well constructed and feel like quality. I was a bit surprised and having to put it together, for example installing the drive gear; curious as to why that is. Installation was easy as they provided multiple different styles of mounting clips depending on your coop. Very much appreciated. I got a device error upon initial setup. However, taking the batteries out and putting them back in fixed that, odd. Simple 3 button input once you figure out the flow. Took me a second to figure out to long press the power button. I did not consult the instructions as I figured it would be intuitive enough. Photo sensor seems pretty precise. We have shade from trees and it's not causing any issues. So for I have no complaints and looking forward if it holds up.

We’ve had an Omlet door for 3 years. The way we set it up allowed the goats to rub up against the wires and severed a few. We tried to reconnect them but to no avail. I couldn’t keep our battery high enough to open and close the door. So we bought the new set up with back up AC power and it’s perfect. I didn’t mention that we live at 8200 feet in Colorado- it has taken 3 years of snow, high wind and mud. Never failed. It’s a beast.

Our door has been such a blessing. We had one hiccup with the power supply. I think it may not have been protected from the weather well enough. We bought a weather proof electrical box to plug it in and voila, perfect.
