Can I change the WiFi network?
Tap into Door settings for your Door, Select “Update Wi-Fi”. Whilst on this page in the App, On your Control Panel navigate to Wi-Fi in the menu and press and hold ok.
Depending on your firmware version, the screen may show “Enabled”. If this is the case change the selection to “Discovery Mode”, and then press and hold “OK”
Once the control panel displays “Discovery Mode” press the connect button on your app screen.
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 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.
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.

Can I connect a solar panel or other power supply to my Omlet Automatic Door Opener?
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.
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.
Why should I add a Omlet Coop Light?
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.
Why does the app require access to my location?
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
What batteries should I use to power my Omlet Autodoor?
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.
