    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    Have you found the mhcozy to be reliable? Do they both use the same app? I think the delay is also due to it being delivered to Australia, it always takes a while for it to reach here

    Still waiting for the sonoff to arrive and the small parts from China. Once that comes I should be able to put it together and test it out

    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    Thanks for the diagram, makes everything much easier to understand. Hopefully when the parts come it all just works. As for the 10" actuator, I'm thinking about doing a swinging door, so it doesn't need to be as long. I think a shorter might even work.

    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    I have come pass the solar charger you suggest as they have their own website https://au.renogy.com/ I am thinking down the track I may add a light but I don't think anything else. I don't think I would need a 100watt panel. Currently on the website the 30watt and 50 watt panels are the same price.

    Thanks for all the help. I'm looking at buying all the components now, many of it coming from China, so there will be a bit of a wait. I am looking at getting this as the one u suggested isn't available here...

    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    I'm looking at doing the simple version that you mentioned. I was wondering how long will the door operate just running off the 12v 8ah battery? Also what size gauge wires will you use to wire this up?

    My CarolinaCoop-inspired Coop

    This coop looks great. I just have a question with building the coop does it help to have the studs on the outside as opposed to having it on the inside with the plywood walls on the outside? Do you find it makes cleaning easier?

    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    Regarding the pressure switch, I've read that the door actully closes very slowly. Seems like the chickens would be able to get out of the way when it's closing? What are the chances they will get crushed?

    I was wondering for that coop door how much watts 12v battery should I buy? I am also thinking of getting it solar powered in the future, would it be doable with the sonoff?

    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    I had a look into the run chicken door, looks like it's the same price as the omlet door. But it has a pretty clean look when installed. Have you had any problems with the light sensor? My coop will be in a shady spot.

    It'll be wood, either 9mm or 12mm. I'll have to see if I'll still be able to use the cut out from the door or what we have lying around.

    Budget automatic coop door or diy?

    I'm looking into getting a automatic door for a coop I'm building. Everything that I've researched seems too be quite expensive for what it is, other then some Chinese branded ones which I read can be just crap and a waste of money. I'm happy to build my own maybe one of those linear actuator...
