Man, this Farmlite Door is a night and day difference compared to the $40 automatic door w e got tricked with from the instagram ad. This thing was a breeze to setup and seems to be very high quality.

I want to say is thank you to Mitchell from Farmlite for sending this awesome set up to us! While they did provide the produce they didn't tell us what we could or couldn't say.

I am going through all the videos researching at them looking for one I would hook that laser stop higher all you are reading that low is a leg move it up to read the body

I tried 2 other cheap models off of Amazon before I got the farmlite. I love the option that I can run it off electricity. Love that the instructions are clear. Love that there are videos on manufacturer's website with a qr code to go right to it. I can open or close the door before the timer goes off using test button. Hoping to get the solar setup for the spring/Summertime so I'm not having to run over an extension cord.

Highly recommend this chicken door. And if I see anything in the chicken groups on fb about it, I always tell them about the 2 crap ones and this one is the one to go with.

Great video, just lost 6 chickens because I got lax and didn't go close the door. No problem in 2 years but it only took one night. Great door in

WE HAVE A FARMLITE LOVE IT .IM HAVEING A LITTLE PROBLUM WITH INSTRUTIONS BUT THATS ON ME SUPER PRODUCT

[gregschnapp]

Purchased the FarmLite door after watching the video. Amazing quality and features, FarmLite easily installed and runs perfectly. Would highly recommend. The chicken door we originally purchased, unboxed and returned before installation was $20.00 more. It didn't have remotes, A/C power cord, ability to connect to solar panels. FarmLite is the chicken door standard!

All the holes needed for the gear to operate the door will let in cold air. This won't work for those who get cold winters.

The other one jammed most likely because the screws were too tight in the frame was flexed too much making it hard for it to have enough power in the motor to pull it up or down. Saw a guy that installed one and said it’s import not use a screw gun so you don’t make the problem happen. Ales sense when you think about it.

It was a cheaper build but that was probably the issue.

I wish there was a WiFi module or zigbee/zwave module on this. I would love to be able to control this with Hubitat or Home Assistant!

I am using my arms and legs and a board. I have just today gotten the permanent digs for the girls and lost one today. Predatory Migrational birds I am guessing. I get mostly gray all summer how does solar do in that weather?

[gregdoyle]

Looks to be similar high quality as the Run-Chicken doors. The wire for the laser looks weird and could be a place for chickens to get stuck or them pecking it.

Hey Steve, hope the door is still working well for ya! Let me know if you ever run into issues, I had a batch of motors that ended up having some gearing issues and had to send a few of the new motors out to correct the issue. They were from the August-September timeframe which is when I sent the door to you. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Question if you are only using ac and power goes out while the door is open does it close automatically ?

[hannahhayward]

Can you do an update on the status of the door?? My previous door broke after three months, so I'm really researching to ensure that doesn't happen again since they're so expensive. Much appreciated!!

[shadyagnew]

Does it have issues opening if it is dark and rainy during the day if you use the light sensor? Looking into getting this door for our coop!

[glendeniseellerbe]

What about a timer? Did you install one? Can you do a video of the timer installation?

[zaynesalmon]

Had the older version (connector looked different) and it only lasted about a year. It seems most of these should be designed to be mounted inside the opening with a light sensor on the outside - this would help to protect it from the elements. Have yet to find one that holds up. Oh, programming is a joke. Keep the book as you will need it to reprogram it the first few times.

[DG-Chiefs-fan]

I’ll be ordering it soon for my coop !!

[lucyyoesmusic]

So, exactly what do I need to do to get a free one with a solar panel? :) We are using a fence board with a latch to keep it open.

[gflack]

The link to the solar panel doesn't work. Could you post another one so I know I am getting the right thing?

[kleinvosseven]

Hi, I have a question, is it possible to actived the door with an infra red sensor ore a reed/magnet contact instead of the lightsensor ore timer
