Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

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.

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.

We have recently purchased the coop door having become rather fed up with a different product. My neighbour installed it, on our wooden coop, but it seems to have been straight forward and the instruction book, comprehensive. Relatively easy to programme. Waiting to install a second one on another coop

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.

Excellent service re recent problem with automatic hen house door.

Good all round product but would be handy to be able to set the time in the morning (prefer them to come out at 7am in summer) and dusk setting in the evening. At the moment can't mix and match.

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.
