Is your previously programmed door functioning as scheduled in spite of the connection problems?

mine is!

I figured it would be, just wanted to be sure. A lot of people seem hesitant about using this tech but it has been beneficial to me to have this functionality. I didn't pick the Omlet brand but was intrigued by the discussion here.

i do really like the omlet. i needed a door that would open horizontally and i really liked the idea of being able to use my phone to change things without having to go out there. but it's also good that i can use the box on the coop as a backup.

Everything seems to be in working order. I suspect the malfunctions had something to do with the app update, or that the update was a result of the company having issues with the app. No way to tell. They don’t seem to release any kind of info to the public.

I wanted an integrated camera, too. Unfortunately, the viewing angle is not adjustable and my coop is 2' off the ground so I can't see as much as I'd hoped.
Mine came with a funny little remote control, too. I find it comforting that I can leave it available for the chicken sitter when we travel just in case they need to open or close the door. I don't want them to have any need to enter the run and risk letting chickens out.
