You can move a device to a different coop by selecting the Settings icon on the top right of the device. You should then select “Device Details. You can then change the “Assigned to:” to the correct coop.
Click the settings icon
Click “Device Details”
Select the correct coop from the “Assigned to:” box
The mains cable you receive with the door is 5’10”
This is to help prolong battery life. You can still send commands to the Door and it will respond to them when it next wakes up (Every 10 minutes). The Door will continue to open and close according to the settings you have saved.
You can turn off Sleep mode by switching to mains power, which we recommend to get the most out of the Smart Features.
No, you can only use either batteries or mains separately. The batteries will not kick in if the mains cable is installed into the control panel.
You can add additional devices by following the same process. Ensure the device is in discovery mode, and then go to Add Device within the app. For full instructions, see our article on Connecting your Smart Autodoor to the Omlet App
You do not have to use mains power if using the smart features of the new Omlet Smart Autodoor control panel. We do however recommend it where possible, as it will improve the functionality of the product. Using mains power will enable the control panel to maintain a constant wifi connection, meaning when you send a command to the door, it will be performed almost immediately. On battery you will have to wait up to 10 minutes for the next time your control panel wakes up and checks in with our servers.
When running on battery with the recommended power settings, we estimate you should expect 2+ months of battery life with normal usage before you need to replace the batteries.
The Autodoor fits straight on the Eglu Pro Chicken Coop, the Eglu Cube Chicken Coop, and on the majority of wooden chicken coops or barns. If you have an older Eglu Cube (before 2016), you can fit the Autodoor by using an attachment kit. You can also fit it to mesh or chicken wire on a run.
No, we do not recommend using a solar panel with your Omlet automatic door opener.
You must use the Autodoor as specified in the instruction manual by using either the supplied power adapter or AA batteries. A set of AA batteries will last for 2+ months. We cannot offer any warranty (expressed or implied), 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.
If you see an error message in the app after selecting the colour of your Smart Autodoor, this may indicate your control panel was unable to contact our server to complete the provisioning process. Please check that the wireless network you connected the control panel to has a functioning internet connection, and no settings are in place that prevent the control panel from connecting out to our server.
Some parental control or network restriction settings can interfere with the ability of the control panel to contact our systems. If you have any such settings in place, you could try turning them off temporarily to see if this resolves the issue. In many cases such systems will have an allow list which you can add the control panel to to prevent any future problems.
If your control panel is not found when you try to add a new device, it may not be in discovery mode. The control panel should display “Discovery Mode. Press OK to exit”. If this is not displaying, use the arrow buttons to navigate through the menu to the Wifi option, and then press and hold OK to re-enable discovery mode. Alternatively, you can perform a factory reset – note this will erase any settings you have customised on the control panel
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
The power (brightness) of the Coop Light is 1.5 watts and it is an LED light. This is equivalent to a 15 watt light bulb.
