I had tried a Brinsea product that absolutely would not open or close during winter at a latitude near the Canada/US border. but that my fault for not planning ahead ha! Overall definitely 5/5 and I also purchase their horizontal poultry nipples and they’re amazing too!. My only qualm is that i have pekin ducklings brooding currently and I’m afraid they may get too fat to use the door. This was the best solution i found, and a very reasonable price IMO. My coop is too far from my house to run electric to it. I browsed automatic doors for several weeks before I bought this - as i was having a hard time finding one that wasn’t too pricey with a power source. I love that you’re able to do timer or light or a mix of both, super handy! My girls figured it out easy enough after they investigated the new door initially (as all chickens - they’re nosy af lol) I just had this small door completely closed off before, we didn’t use it. it’s pretty straight forward! Once you figure out the display, you can see what works best for you. I watched several videos and didn’t need to keep going back to them during install. anyway! I consider myself fairly handy, but this was simple to install. I added this to my coop so i wouldn’t have to rush out to the coop first thing in the am. I would definitely recommend the door to any chicken owner who wants to reclaim so sleeping time!. You can close the door by setting the mode to closing using the phot sensor and covering it but thats too much effort so I just block the door as I did before I added the automatic door. It would have been better if there was also a button to close the door so I could block them out when cleaning. Its great having a button to open the door on command because sometimes i find its partially open. I'm REALLY glad I did this because I can easily pull the plywood with 2 screws and bring it into the shop to clean/service/test. I mounted th e door and controller onto a separate piece of plywood so I could verify it worked in my shop and simply screw in the working assembly wityh 2 screws into the coop outside. You do have to inspect the door for obstruction as it doesn't take much debris in the track to hamper its operation. The chickens and I love the automatic door as I dont have to get up at the crack of dawn everyday and the chickens dont have to wait for me.
