The Autodoor uses a 24h clock. So if you, for example, want to program your door to close at 6pm, you would set the control panel to 18:00.

How do I change the door settings in the app?
To change the door settings, tap on the settings icon in the top right of the door card on the home screen. From the menu that appears, tap the top item “Door settings”. For more details on the settings available, please see Setting when your Smart Autodoor will open and close
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.
How long do the batteries last, and when should I change them?
4 good quality AA batteries of the same brand, same type and same energy level should power the Autodoor for 2+ months. If you’re not using the smart functionality, and the control panel is not connected to wifi, then we estimate you should see around 6 months of battery life.
We would suggest changing the batteries when the control panel is showing the level as 5% or lower. It’s good to check the batteries at least every month to make sure they are in good condition.
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.
Why is my device showing offline?
This means your control panel is no longer connected to your network. This could be for a couple of reasons.
First check the power to the control panel is ok. If using batteries install fresh ones.
Then check if you are experiencing Wi-Fi problems on another device. It may be that your door is too far away from your network hub and struggling to connect so try moving it closer if possible.
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.
How do I download the app?
The Omlet App is available in the Google Play store for Android users, and the App Store for iOS users. Simply open the relevant app store, and search for “Omlet”, or use the following links: iOS App Store – Google Play
What happens if the door loses connection to the Wi-Fi?
Your Door settings are saved locally to the control panel. So even if your network drops out the Door will continue to use these settings to open and close. You just won’t be able to control the device via the app whilst the Wi-Fi is down.
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.
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.
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.
