Whats the difference between Restart and Reset?
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.
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
Do I have to use Mains power for Smart?
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.
How does the Omlet Autodoor Crush Detector work?
The Autodoor uses sophisticated safety sensors to protect hens that dawdle in the doorway, just like elevator doors. After gently nudging and opening again, the Autodoor will attempt to close 5 more times until the path is clear.
How far away from a wifi source can the door be placed?
The range of your wireless network can be affected by a number of factors, including the type of access point used, and the construction of your home. As such, it is not possible to give a general answer to this question. We recommend connecting to the wireless network you wish to use with your phone, and standing where you wish to place your control panel. If your phone indicates a good wifi signal, it should be sufficient to use with the Omlet Smart Autodoor. If your phone only shows one bar of wifi, or none at all, then you could find the signal is too weak for the control panel to work effectively. You may wish to move the coop or access point to improve coverage, or purchase a range extender
How do I move a device to a different coop?
You can move a device to a different coop by selecting the Settings icon on the top right of the device. You should then select “Device Details. You can then change the “Assigned to:” to the correct coop.
Click the settings icon
Click “Device Details”
Select the correct coop from the “Assigned to:” box
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 is the mains cable?
The mains cable you receive with the door is 5’10”
Can the wire to the control panel be extended?
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.
How can I power my Autodoor?
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.
Can I open the door manually?
Yes, there is a manual mode where the door opens and closes only when you press the button. For safety and peace of mind, there is also a built-in failsafe system for opening the door completely by hand. Check the instruction manual to find out how to do this.
