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.
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
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.
