Automatic pop door

[G-Man]

what kind of timers are those? I've never seen one like that before. I got the digital one that comes with some of the automatic door kits, but haven't gotten finished with my coop or started on the door.

I installed three Honeywell Econoswitch RPLS740B 7-day solar time table programmable hardwired, in-wall switches that run my main coop lights, pop-door and and ambient light (fiber-optic star ceiling night light) that comes on when the main coop light is turned off.




The timers work fantastic!!
You will need to set the latitude and longitude coordinates of your location for the initial setup. Then set the time before/after sunrise/sunset you want the light or door to operate and your done.
Or if you want to program actual times that option and a manual on/off switch is available too.

Should you lose power, the switches have internal battery backup that will save the programmed data and resume operation when the power is restored.

I love that I never need to adjust for the short or longer days throughout the year.


Best of luck with your coop build.. submit pics as you go.
