Review for:Mounting Bracket for Autodoor Control Panel - Eglu Cube Mk2 & Eglu Pro
Works well, battery installation could be better.
Nicole,
Overall the kit is easy to install and the door works well. I think having to unscrew the back of the controller each time batteries need replacement is a poor design issue as over time the threads will wear and replacement exposes the motherboard & connections. I’m not sure why a standard battery compartment was not used. Also the light detector is fickle & struggled to give an indication of light intensity which was remotely consistent. The timer works well thankfully as the unit is easy to program.

Omlet response:
Hello Nicole,
Thank you for your review, we will pass on your comments about the battery compartment to our product design team.
As for the light sensor, the brightness outside is rarely consistent. Light levels change depending on the weather, the clouds and sun position.
However if you believe that your control panel is faulty, please do not hesitate to contact our customer services team on hello@omlet.com.au.
Kindest regards,
Omlet
Just brilliant

Problem Solved!
Jan,
We have not used a light on the coop before but it’s was a new young flock (8 hens) and we live in the Highlands (so daylight is at a premium at the moment (November)). We bought them from a grower of commercial flocks and so they had been used to a tightly regulated indoor system and so had to learn to become free range hens! And the light has helped showing them where to go after a day foraging in their run to roost for the night (it took a couple of days but their behaviour now is ‘normal’) going in a out of the coop at the correct times - one happy hen owner!!

Wish I had bought one earlier
Happy,
Bought the auto door and conversion kit for our Mk 1. The instruction book seemed a bit daunting and there is no video showing the fitting to a Mk1.
In reality installation was more straightforward than we had feared. We have also enjoyed watching the bedtime routine of the chickens. Strongly recommend

Autodoor Bracket
Jim,
Fits well and sturdy. Only flaw is if you use extreme weather blanket and light sensor mode you have to just pull blanket over a little so sensor stays exposed. Not really a big deal but something to look at for the future.

Needed For The MK 1
Jan,
This product works well and is need for the automatic door to fit the MK 1 Eglu Cube (has been designed primarily for the MK 2 - after watching the YouTube video it seems easier to fit the automatic door to the MK1 (with this kit) than the MK2 (just our opinion!!). Easily ordered on-line and was delivered quickly.

Does the job perfectly and how clever that the screw fits in existing fixing.
