I must say that putting the whole thing together was somewhat of challenge! I've now had my girls in there for a week and finding it absolutely perfect. I kept hens for over 25 years and got to the stage where I didn't want to go out in all weathers to put them away and found cleaning out my wooden chicken coup such a big job ..plus devastating attacks by the fox.I stopped having hens for the last 10 years and missed them so much so invested in My new Omlet Cube and run with an automatic door .. absolute game changer and the cube is so easy to clean out, I love it and so do the girls! So wonderful to have hens again.

We've had the standard automated Omlet door for a few years now but this new control panel somehow made it even better! It doesn't remove any of the best features of the original. Rather, adds smartphone control and a dedicated 12v hookup while keeping the batteries in as backup if you want it. Installation was ultra easy and all we had to do was unplug the old unit and plug the new one in. Super impressive!

They make things easier to manoeuvre the Eglu. Good quality

We have the original model so it took me about 10 minutes from start to finish. The hardware and wires are the same. Connected to Bluetooth and then the door calibrated about 5 times. App is user friendly too. Good job omlet!

The switch to the new door and AP was very easy. Plug and play. My girls are still chicks and are just now settling into a nightly routine. So, for the next couple of weeks, I'm using manual mode. Very happy with this door and AP

The space I had for a catio was a long but fairly narrow strip of patio. I bought the large and with the help of the staff, a few loose pieces to custom fit with access from a window, secured to the wall. My cats love it, they choose to use it in all weathers. I've planted catnip around the outside and am slowly pimping it up for them.

We bought this to keep our dogs off the lawn where it had to be re-seeded from wear and tare. The area was quite a large one, and this worked beautifully!! - So well in fact that we now use our chicken fencing as emergency fencing for the dogs in other ways too - including to emergency fence over a broken down boundary fence which our neighbour hasn't fixed. Neither of the dogs (labs) will cross the chicken fencing so they remain safely in our garden rather than roaming where they are not welcome next door. It's a really good bit of kit!!

As spring is here ( Apparently!) I spruced my Omlet cube and re-placed my run covers , they arrived on time and were once again great quality,my girls are now very happy 😆

I recently installed the Omlet automatic door on my timber chicken house (which itself sits inside a fenced compound). The installation process was relatively straight-forward although I did have to jury-rig a couple of things - I needed two larger screws (than the ones provided) to secure the bottom of the door, and I spent a bit of time fashioning some metal brackets to reattach the little ramp in to the nesting box (which had to be removed as part of removal of the existing coop door). Probably not necessary but I also used a couple of spacers along the top of the door as the design of my coop meant the door was not flush all the way around. My coop is a common design so it may be worth Omlet considering putting together an attachment kit for this style. The manual spoke about a door calibration function but I was not able to activate this. Nonetheless the door appears to open and close perfectly. I now keep both the door to the coop and the compound open 24/7 with the Omlet door keeping our hens safe at night. We have already had one visit from a fox who left disappointed. I am very happy with my Omlet and can highly recommend it.

Three units later, I am loving this new smart door opener! First one just opened the door; the second allowed a power supply vs just batteries. This one combines those and allows operation via your phone. I was able to get four right before I was leaving for several days to attend a wedding halfway across the country. I have 5 Eglu doors, 4 of which are used daily. I could turn on lights, open and close doors all the way from TX to VA. I could change the time from my phone, which means even at home I don’t have to go outside and go from coop to coop to make the change. I love them! Now, as long as they last and are dependable, they will be the best thing for chicken keepers!
