We do not offer a solar panel for the Omlet Autodoor. We have tested them and we do not recommend them.
You must use the Autodoor as specified in the instruction manual by using either AA batteries or our power adapter.
A set of AA batteries will last a long time (between 4-6 months) if not using the smart mode and 2+ months if using smart mode. We cannot offer any warranty, 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.
If you see an error message in the app after selecting the colour of your Smart Autodoor, this may indicate your control panel was unable to contact our server to complete the provisioning process. Please check that the wireless network you connected the control panel to has a functioning internet connection, and no settings are in place that prevent the control panel from connecting out to our server.
Some parental control or network restriction settings can interfere with the ability of the control panel to contact our systems. If you have any such settings in place, you could try turning them off temporarily to see if this resolves the issue. In many cases such systems will have an allow list which you can add the control panel to to prevent any future problems.
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.
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
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
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 correct light level will vary depending your geographic location. Generally the default light level which comes with the Omlet Autodoor works well.
You can also find out how the light level behavious in your area by clicking on the setting of the device. Select “Technical Information”. You can scroll down to the light section. You should then see a graph showing your light levels.
We recommend powering your Smart Autodoor via the included mains power adaptor for the best experience. You can power the Smart Autodoor with batteries if you wish, we estimate you will get 2+ months of battery life with a set of good quality AA batteries. If you connect your Autodoor to a solar panel or any other type of power source, we will not be able to offer any warranty (expressed or implied), support or advice.
You can change how long the coop light stays on for by clicking on the setting icon for the autodoor. Then select Coop Light settings. You can select the time from the “Maxiumum time on:” dropdown box. If you are using your door on battery, then you might want to reduce this time to 5 minutes to reduce the battery usage
