Can I fit my Omlet Autodoor vertically?
No, the motor in the door is designed to open the door horizontally. It is also important to note that the crush detector won’t work properly when mounted vertically as chickens could sit on it and thereby activate it the whole time which would prevent the door from attempting to close.
How do I change how long the Coop Light comes on for?
You can change how long the coop light stays on for by clicking on the setting icon for the autodoor. Then select Coop Light settings. You can select the time from the “Maxiumum time on:” dropdown box. If you are using your door on battery, then you might want to reduce this time to 5 minutes to reduce the battery usage
How do I update the App?

Can I connect a solar panel or other power supply to my Omlet Automatic Door Opener?
We do not offer a solar panel for the Omlet Autodoor. We have tested them and we do not recommend them.
You must use the Autodoor as specified in the instruction manual by using either AA batteries or our power adapter.
A set of AA batteries will last a long time (between 4-6 months) if not using the smart mode and 2+ months if using smart mode. We cannot offer any warranty, support or advice if you connect any other forms of power supply to your Autodoor. There is a high risk that you may damage your Autodoor, and the product may not work as intended.

Click the settings icon

Why doesn't my control panel "wake up" when I open the app?
If you’re running the control panel on batteries rather than mains power, it will sleep to save power. Whilst it’s asleep, it is not connected to your wireless network, so there is no way to send a command to it to instruct it to wake up.
If your control panel wakes up whilst you’re using the app, the app will communicate with the control panel and ask it to stay awake while you’re active within the app, this will allow the control panel to be more responsive to your commands.
How do I perform a factory reset on my Omlet Autodoor?
- Scroll down in the menu of the Control Panel until you get to “Factory Reset”.

- Change the flashing “N” (for no) to “Y” (for yes) by using the arrow buttons.
- Hold OK-button until the screen changes.
Why is the coop light flickering?
If your coop light is flickering whilst turned on, this could indicate that your batteries are beginning to get low. Try replacing your batteries with a new set of good quality AA batteries
