Can I use Batteries as a back up if the mains cuts out?
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.
Why do my batteries only last a week?
There are a couple of reasons why you may be experiencing poor battery life. If you’re running your control panel without connecting it to Wifi, then you may be running an older version of the firmware which has some known issues with poor battery life. To check your firmware version, scroll through the menu to Factory Reset, and the current version will be displayed underneath. If your version is older than 1.0.15, then you will experience these issues (likely you’re running 1.0.8 in this case). If you’re running an old version, follow this guide to update to the latest and resolve the problem.
If you have your Smart Autodoor connected to wifi, the update will have been applied automatically. If you are experiencing poor battery life in this situation, please ensure that your power settings are set to “Power Saving”, and Deep Sleep is enabled. For more detailed advice, please read our guide on optimising battery life for your Smart Autodoor
If you have followed the guides above, and are still experiencing issues with battery life, please contact us, and we would be happy to provide further assistance

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.
How do I add a new coop?
You can add a new coop by clicking the menu icon on the top right. You should then select “Manage and share coops”. You can then click the “Add coop” button.
How far away from a wifi source can the door be placed?
The range of your wireless network can be affected by a number of factors, including the type of access point used, and the construction of your home. As such, it is not possible to give a general answer to this question. We recommend connecting to the wireless network you wish to use with your phone, and standing where you wish to place your control panel. If your phone indicates a good wifi signal, it should be sufficient to use with the Omlet Smart Autodoor. If your phone only shows one bar of wifi, or none at all, then you could find the signal is too weak for the control panel to work effectively. You may wish to move the coop or access point to improve coverage, or purchase a range extender
