Verified Reviews for Smart Automatic Chicken Coop Door

I had searched high and low for days on "that huge online shopping place named after a South American rainforest", and kept coming up dissatisfied. Most of the products offered were cheap aluminum doors and frames and had mediocre reviews at best. One of the reviews suggested that people interested in buying an automatic door should save themselves time and just buy one from Omlet. I'd never heard of your company before, and I was amazed to see what your site had to offer. I ordered the Autodoor and it arrived just a couple of days afterwards, well-packaged and intact. Installation over my existing wooden coop was a breeze, and the Autodoor functions eggs-actly like it should! I had a couple of questions about the functionality, and your customer service department was prompt and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work!

I like it. I'd also recommend it if you're attaching the autodoor to a non-Omlet coop. However, the wood isn't coated for weather protection and this means that I'll definitely have to buy another kit, eventually. For this reason, I give an average review.

The door works great after figuring it out. The directions are mediocre at best. Thank goodness for the YouTube videos. Also it would be nice if the directions came without mixing all the different languages into one manual.

The omlet door works exactly like I hoped. It was easy to set up and I feel much better when I can't get home early enough to close my babies in!

Pleased with it overall, but battery indicator says 0% when they are brand new batteries. It is quite a simple control system so if there is a next generation it would be great to have the ability to have a mix of time and manual settings as an option, and the ability to set and control it through a phone app and perhaps even a webcam option so I can see what's happened.

I live in MN and as quite skeptical, but this door works great! Even when it got down below -20f it worked every time and the batteries still show 50% and i installed it in October and now its March. The only times it didn't work was when a chicken pooped right in the path of the door and it froze causing an obstruction , also i had a duck that just sat in the opening. Even after the door tried its 3 or 4 times to close and then stays open as a safety.The duck was not harmed. Both times not the doors fault. Im very pleased with it. I would recommend for anyone with a busy schedule. Now we dont have to look for people to let them out or close them up if we're not at home.

I ordered this after finding out my infant was ill and we’d be spending a lot of time out of town. Knowing the chickens were secure at night but free range during the day was a huge weight off my shoulders. We were able to have neighbors check on them but not worry about time restraints. Now we have had it operating over a winter and the batteries made it through to spring. I had to clear ice a few times; I don’t think there is really any way around that.

Simple but very effective. Makes mounting control unit so easy

I had. another extemely complicated system that I couldn't work. After many of my homesteading friends gave reviews about Omlet, I bought it and had my son replace the existing system. No more worries about time of day and did it work and so many other problems. I love this system

Finally a reliable door! This is our third attempt at an automatic door and I’m so glad we found this one. The coop light is an added bonus. So helpful to have the controls on the outside of the run and overall we are very happy.
