Customer Reviews for VEVOR Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener (Door Included)Timer Auto Light Sensor

These things are awesome. Easy to install and works incredibly well. Took my chooks about 2 days to get used to it, but after that they stand around waiting for it to open and run through as soon as it does. Highly recommended for anyone who has chickens and wants a reliable automated door system for a great price.

Adapted it to my old coop door. Added a solar fed 12v battery as a backup in case of a power failure.

Super quick delivery! We added a car battery connected to a solar panel so it doesn't have to be connected to mains. Works really well. Easy to install and the chickens are happy.

Chicken doors works great! The controller kept losing time if power went off, so it was not dependable. but I easily set it up on a 12v battery with maintainer to solve that issue. The entry sensor was useless/false trips, so it had to be removed. But good overall

The directions were pretty vague but I was able to piece the info together for programing. The door closes very very slowly (no animal decapitation like the other review mentions). The laser sensor works very well. We did install ours "inside out" because we have a overhang roof just outside the door but plan to move the gray electrical box to the outside so the light senors could work. The remotes do take a weird type battery. The door did come with a little bit of rust and bolts/ rivets were missing but we had some on hand so it wasn't a huge deal. But overall I like how many features this one had compared to others and will be keeping it.

Was an easy set up. Quality parts, glad I purchased this for the girls safety.

I wanted to automate the door into the run and this unit seemed appropriate. I didn't use the door (already had a string system for the coop door) and hooked up the linear actuator and controller to open and close the door on a timer. So far it works pretty well. It is set up kind of like a screen door actuator.My only complaint is that the controller should have a battery backup in case of power outage. I leave for the weekend sometimes and always worry about whether the chickens are going to get locked out or in the run and coop if the power goes out. That is my only complaint.

Installed in ten minutes works well no problems. My birds love it!

May 2022 Update: After using this door for almost a year now, we still love it! The only issue we've had is in the winter when it would rain and then get really cold soon thereafter, the door to be a bit frozen and could not open. I like that the door would try to open, then stop. It reassures me that it won't break so easily! Our idea going forward for this winter is to create a bit more of an overhang to keep more moisture away from the door. All we had to do was just open our coop's side door to let the crew out. Regardless, we love this door and it makes life so much easier for us!

So far so good, when we first got it my husband played with it so much that he must have set new timers LOL. It was easy to reset, we just removed batteries and it goes back to factory settings. I have had it for 3 weeks now and I still check to make sure it opens and closes for the hens. There was one morning half of my flock made it out and it shut. I found my chickens trapped in coop and over heating. Not sure what happened? Maybe cloud cover triggered sensor to close at dawn again
