We call this our momma hen package. This is a turn-key system without the actuator. You will need to purchase an actuator that fits your door size. Other than that, it's basically ready to go.
Includes the following:
12v 5 Amp power supply
WiFi garage door controller
Watertight enclosure
Manual door button
External Status LEDs
(optional) Remote control
Details:
Keep your chickens safe and sound with the Chicken Coop Controller (Basic). The basic package is easy to install and automates your chicken coop door but unlike the 'board only' package, everything is already connected and ready to go for you. All you have to do is simply connect your actuator (not included) and the door sensor (included) to this controller box and the opening and closing of your door will be fully automated with notifications sent to your phone. The opening and closing is based on a time schedule so you control exactly when the door operates from your phone. You will also be able to check on the door status and open or close it from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection.
This package comes complete with everything listed above, minus the actuator arm. A suggested actuator arm is listed below. Like most of our CodeMakesItGo products, it is pre-programmed with our open source code. Feel free to inspect and modify the code if your coop door operates a little different or if you want to add addition capability like turning on lights when the door closes or playing music when the door opens.
