The Smart control panel will work with any 2.4 Ghz wireless network that supports WPA2/3-PSK encryption. Unsecured wireless networks are also supported.

We recommend only using good quality AA batteries with your Omlet Autodoor. We do not recommend rechargable batteries as these provide less power than regular ones, and will result in lower battery life
Please make sure you use 4 batteries that are the same brand, same type and same energy level.
If you are using the Autodoor with WiFi, we recommend using the mains power adaptor provided to get the most out of the Smart features.
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.
You can only use one setting at a time on the Omlet Automatic chicken coop door. Though you can change which setting you use via the App at any point. You change the settings by click the Settings icon next to the device. Then click on “Door Settings”. Select the right mode for you, and then tap Save
Please note you might want to change which setting you use throughout the year, depending on your flock’s routine and the number of daylight hours.
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.
No, the motor in the door is designed to open the door horizontally. It is also important to note that the crush detector won’t work properly when mounted vertically as chickens could sit on it and thereby activate it the whole time which would prevent the door from attempting to close.
Chickens are flock animals and creatures of habit, and in most cases they will go back to the coop within half an hour of each other at around the same time every evening. Observe your hens for a few days and make a note of when they tend to go to bed, and set the door accordingly.
Restart on the Omlet app will turn your device off and turn it back on again.
Reset on the Omlet app will factory reset your device. It will remove all configuration settings. You will need to reprovision the device to use it in smart mode again. You should Reset the device if you wish to remove the device from your account and sell it.
Unfortunately, the Autodoor is not compatible with our Eglu Go, Go Up or Classic coops. However, the versatility of the frame and door design allows you to fit the Autodoor to any kind of chicken run.
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.
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.
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
