App Profile: RUN-CHICKEN

I was under the impression when I bought my door that I could control it via the app. The app has some use but it doesn’t show or control the activity of the door unless you’re literally standing right next to it. And in that case you don’t need the app. Disappointing.

OK after reading these reviews everyone is so concerned with themself……. The ONLY WAY to program the door so it opens at a certain time and closes at a certain time you have to flash a light sequence to the sensor via this app! It uses the phone to flash light at it. It’s pretty ingenious if you ask me. And then next week to change it, you need to walk up to it again and flash a different light sequence to reprogram it using the only method, this app! I’ve been using the run chicken door for two years now I have four of them and I won’t buy anything else! I am in Michigan. I would love to reprogram the chicken door from a far but I’m sure that chicken door would cost more like five or $600 not the 120 that you pay for this one it doesn’t have that technology available. If you find one available like that let me know.

Honestly after a few weeks of using it I really regret buying it. If it wasn’t for the fact that my husband installed the door in such a way I can’t remove the door I would remove it and return it. The door works off of light sensor or a manual control. So once you program the device there is no way to change it. For example if it’s going to storm and you want your flock to stay inside and the door to not open you have to completely delete the door from the app and reprogram it completely! The directions aren’t very clear either. Why it’s not blue tooth enabled I’ll never understand since the technology is so easy and everywhere come on run chicken do freaking better!
