I finally got my hands on one of these automatic chicken doors! I've been wanting one for a while now, and it'll be the perfect addition to my new coop that's under construction. I tested it out outside and I'm happy to report it seems to be working exactly as intended. The aluminum frame and door construction feels very sturdy, and overall, it seems like a well-made product.
While the electronics are working fine for now, they don't quite strike me as the highest quality and don't appear to be very well sealed. Ideally, they would be more weatherproof for long-term use. Another thing I noticed is that the bottom bar of the door, which will likely be exposed to the most moisture, isn't made of aluminum and could potentially rust over time.
The battery setup is a little unusual as well. It has a built-in lithium battery that gets charged by the solar panel, but there's also a separate backup system that uses 3 AA batteries. Oddly enough, the solar panel doesn't charge the AA batteries.
Lastly, the LCD screen on my unit doesn't have a backlight like the one in the product pictures or customer photos I saw online. However, since I'm planning to use only the light sensor mode, I probably won't need to mess with the settings too often. In a pinch, I can still use the buttons or the remote control to open or close the door manually from the door buttons. Overall, this automatic chicken door seems like a solid addition to my coop.

I've been using this for several months. I use the timer over the light sensor. The light sensor is NOT sensitive enough to open and close with the sun. But it works fine on a timer. I'd prefer light sensitive so I wouldn't have to adjust it as the days shorten.

I created a custom wood frame to attach the door to, my preference . Remote works from a long distance which I appreciate.

Easy to install. Great options for modes. I wish the solar panel could be screwed down. Its very windy here. Also the usb-c port isn't the most ideal location.

Very great quality door. Best door we have found for our coop.

The door works as expected. Seems well built. I knocked a star off because where they located the power cord connection for the solar panel is a very poor design. Sticks down where the birds go in and out.

Surprisingly little effort was required to complete the installation. I was able to set it up without any problems, which is impressive considering my lack of experience in technical matters. Because of the detailed instructions that were supplied, I was able to get the door opener working in no time at all. The door opener for the coop is made of aluminum, which gives it a solid and durable feel and reassures me that it will continue to function well for a long time. The functioning of this door opener is powered by solar energy, which is what really sets it apart from similar products. There is no need for the batteries to be changed or for the device to be connected to an external power supply. During the day, the integrated solar panel quickly and effectively recharges the device, guaranteeing that it will continue to function reliably throughout the night. This door opener is not only a more environmentally responsible option, but it also helps me save time, so it's a win-win scenario. The features of the timer and light sensor are quite innovative and clever. In order to provide my hens with a routine that is always the same, I use the timer, which allows me to establish exact opening and shutting times for the coop door. The light sensor, on the other hand, is responsible for determining how much natural light is there and regulating the door appropriately. Because of this degree of automation, my mornings and evenings are now free, and I am able to concentrate on other parts of taking care of my chickens. The remote control that is included is a useful addition to the package. When I need to manually operate the door or make changes without having to visit the coop, it comes in handy to have this feature. My ability to handle the door from a considerable distance is made possible by its amazing range.

Super simple install and works as needed.

Product looks to be made of high quality materials and works great!

Have had this for a few months now and very pleased. Easy to install and program. As long as the solar charging cord is pinned out of the way you won’t have any issues.

The display screen in not bright like the picture. We have not had a chance to test the automatic door yet. We really hope the solar panel is water proof with at the rain we get.
