Omlet light setting

[Mandabirkett]

Does anybody have the Omlet automatic door and use the light setting and if so what do you have it set at? I currently have it opening at 70 and closing at 30 with the default 20 minute delay.

Follow-up... the door did not open at dusk as wanted. Adjusted setting to open at 40 and close at 20... would love to hear what others are using that works for their chickens.

@Mandabirkett Have you tried contacting the manufacturer?

No but they have default settings I would suspect they would suggest. Just curious what others are finding works.

Sorry, new user here. I installed the omlet door today and sat around waiting after sunset for the door to close. I used the default setting of 6 to close and that was fine, except for the 20 minute delay. It was nigh on dark by the time it closed. Can that 20 minute delay be removed? Otherwise, I'm going to set the close at like 25, and open at 5 to allow for that extra 20 minutes.

mine has just a 10 min delay with the coop light on, also. i have mine set at time 8.30 to close daylight saving in australia, and open at 6.30am , not sure what the set at 25means..?

Sound like you have set a specific time for yours to open and close. I'm using the light sensor to (hopefully) adjust itself as the days lengthen and shorten.

I have it at a time setting.
