- Will operate at 6V, but not charge the 4AA NiMH battery
- Operate with 4 batteries that is more powerful than 2-3 batteries on most chicken door opener.
- The motion sensor work well. If object detect under the door sensor, door will open all the way up and try to close about 1 minute later and can go on forever until the door shut.
- Remote work well, no problem inside the house around 75 feet.
- To reserve battery, the LCD will turn off after 30s.

Con:
- 2 back pieces support the sliding door behind the aluminum frame are plastic.
- Top main box plastic (motor, controller, etc.. )

- The remote require 12V A27 battery, which not common and expensive.
- The motion sensor is not 100% proof. The door do close if object is dark black and motionless.
- Ask few questions relate the product through Amazon, but no response from user, seller, or manufacture.
- Need setup again when remove/replace battery, the default time Clock 8AM, Open 8AM, and Close 19:00PM. The door will automatic OPEN right away after install 4AA batteries because the Clock and Open default at 8AM so make sure no object block the door.
- To get the remote to OPEN/CLOSE the door, the LCD must be ON. There is no POWER button on remote. To get the LCD ON press UP, DOWN, or STOP button many times (1-20x).

WARNING: DO NOT USE 4AA x 1.5V Alkaline battery if you are going to use solar panel, 9V adapter, or 12V battery. The battery is not chargeable and can cause fire. If you are going to use 12V car battery, remove the 4AA x 1.5V battery.

Note: 1) I like to test the 5V phone battery pack, but don't have USB to DC5521 cable. 2) Not sure about battery life, will update the post in the future.
