Customer Reviews for VEVOR Kits Infrared Sensor Automatic Chicken Coop Door Opener, 1 Count (Pack of 1), Sliver

Received this as a gift in the fall. Door itself is thin, but I’m not trying to keep out bears.I really like the motor or linear actuator, operates smoothly and holds the door firmly shut. I haven’t used the remotes, nor do I plan to. The infrared sensor works as designed. The light photo sensor has an adjustable knob to change opening and closing times.Like others, I had an issue after a month or two, wouldn’t open or sometimes wouldn’t close. I contacted the seller, sent a video of it not working. I thought it was a bad motherboard and told them so.I was sent a new motherboard, power supply and photo sensor within a week.Worked flawlessly all winter since the repair.For the cost, and the customer service I would buy it again.

When you reach customer service you will be asked to send them a video of your problem, English is not their native language.It’s best to tinker with it and work out the issues yourself. Once you figure it out it works just fine, plan on tinkering with itWe have had issues with the automatic chicken door since installing, with the seller only response being “watch this video and send us a video of what it is doing wrong “.The door wouldn’t operate at all! How do you video that? I had to figure it out on my own which was in the heat sensor having a short. We have had the opener installed for 2 months now and if one of the girls hit the sensor it causes the door to not operate. We then have to get the sensor move the sensor until it makes contact inside the sealed sensor.Do not buy this opener unless you have some electrical knowledge and want to trouble shoot on your own, the seller is not helpful not do they warranty the product.

Strong door that works very well. After about a month of operation it stopped working. I contacted customer service who promptly responded and sent some replacement parts that got the door running again. Very happy with their customer service!

I installed this coop door (the model with the photo sensor). Installation was quick and hook up was simple. My coop has a 12' X 18' hoop house for the chickens to roam in the winter as they don't like the snow. This also protects the door and its electronic from the elements. Didn't close all the way the first night, but has worked flawlessly ever since. I recommend this highly. It's a great value for a door with a screw drive opener/closer.

Chicken house

It was okay then it quit working....Would like to convert this one to a timer??Works great, my only compliant is that the operation instructions are simply pictures. My final adjustments that made it work perfect. Turn the opening time to the earliest setting and the closing setting to the latest. Since I also have a camera I can see that all my girls are in the coop and on their perch a good half hour before the door closes, in the morning a few are awake before the door opens. I am very satisfied with this door. it was simple to install.

Easy to install door close and open at the right time .Been installed for 4 days now very happy with it!

Works perfect. I have it hooked up to solar power.

Best value out there. It has been working perfectly for 6 weeks so far and looks like it will last. It really HOLDS the door shut so I do not worry about anyone breaking into my coop in the night. I had to modify the door because the inclosed "hinge" tripped the in-door-way sensor while closing, but this was easy to do. I wish it had a timer to delay the opening of the door because it opens at first light, which foxes tend to run, but this can be fixed by using the remote. I would buy again.

Installation was fairly easy, and it seems to work great so far. Losr three chickens to a bobcat last week. Now that I have this installed everybody is safe and sound! I'm giving it 4 stars because a day after I installed it something has gone wrong with the motor and it will not open all the way, although it still works, ill probably need to return it, but I don't have time to deal with it right now...
