Open or close it from across the yard: the remote control works from 49.2-65.6 ft away
Opening and closing the coop door every sunrise and sunset gets old fast, and a weekend away can mean asking a neighbour to do it for you. This automatic chicken coop door runs on solar power with USB charging as backup, so it keeps working through cloudy days and while you are away, and it switches on its own between timer, light-sensor, remote and manual control depending on what the day calls for. An anti-pinch sensor stops and reverses the door the instant it detects a chicken underneath, so there is no risk of harm from the door itself.
A built-in alarm sounds if the door is pried open, which is aimed at keeping predators like opossums, coyotes and foxes from getting to the flock. The door itself is wider than most — 9.8 x 13.82in (24.9 x 35.1 cm) — with a clear LCD screen showing the current opening and closing settings at a glance, and the remote lets you open, close or arm the alarm from 49.2-65.6 ft (15-20 meters) away. Built from ABS and painted aluminum alloy, it is IP45 rated and rated to run from -15°F (-26°C) to 140°F (60°C), so it keeps working through rain, snow and hard cold. As an automatic chicken door, it pairs well with the rest of your chicken coop accessories, since it also alerts you if anything tries to force it open.
