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
How does the light mode work?
The light sensor will react to whichever level you have set it to. It will recognize the amount of light you have set, then there is a 15 minute delay built in (to ensure it isn’t just a temporary shadow like a cloud), and then the door will open or close.
You can change the level to the setting you prefer, just always ensure that the level for closing is lower than the level for opening.
Please note that the location of your coop can also influence the light sensor. If there are trees around, or anything else that may create a darker atmosphere, it can take the door longer to open in the mornings.
The sensor works best under sunny conditions, so during darker months it can be useful to change the setting to the timer.
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.
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 is the power of the Coop Light?
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.
