Why does the app require access to my location?
On Android devices you may be asked to grant permission to access your location when you try to set up a new device. Omlet does not collect, store or use your location as part of the App functionality. Android includes the location permission with the permission to access bluetooth devices, because certain types of bluetooth beacon devices can be used to determine your physical location.
You will need to grant permission in order to be able to discover and set up new devices, but you can disable the permission afterwards if you wish – the app will work fine with it disabled
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
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”.
- Press and hold the “OK”-button until the screen changes to “Are You Sure” and a flashing “N”.
- Change the flashing “N” (for no) to “Y” (for yes) by using the arrow buttons.
- Hold OK-button until the screen changes.
Can I use it with chicks?
The Autodoor is designed to be used by adult chickens, and it’s wise to only use manual mode if you have chicks in the flock.
Why isn't the control panel found when I try to add a new device?
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
Can I share access to my door?
You can invite anyone you like to have access to your Smart Autodoor via the Omlet App, and decide what level of access to give them. For more details, see our article on Sharing your Smart devices with friends and family
Why should I add a Omlet Coop Light?
There are two main reasons that your chickens and you will love a Coop Light.
Firstly, having a light in the coop will encourage the chickens to return to their house when it gets dark. This is especially good if you have one or two hens that tend to stay out longer than the rest.
Secondly, it’s useful to have a light in the coop if you want to check on your hens when it’s dark, maybe as you come home from work or just before you go to bed. The hens won’t be bothered by you turning on the light for a minute and peeking into the coop.
What are the dimensions of the Omlet Autodoor?
The Autodoor Frame dimensions are: 49cm x 42cm x 5.5cm
The Control Panel dimensions are: 13cm x 12cm x 4.5cm
The Cable Length is 200cm.
How do I add another device?
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
Can I connect a solar panel or other power supply?
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.
Can the wire to the control panel be extended?
We don’t provide any solution for extending the cable, but we do sell a replacement cable that could be used for that purpose. If you want to extend the cable we suggest you speak to an electrician to make sure it’s done safely and correctly.
