I have been working on a Home Assistant integration for the Omlet Smart Chicken Coop Door - GitHub - krozgrov/ha-omlet-integration: Custom Home Assistant integration for Omlet devices, enabling monitoring and control of Autodoors and related devices. Includes features like battery level monitoring, door/light control, and real-time updates via API., it’s still a work in progress but I have a lot of the functionality working. Omlet has a great, well documented SDK! You can send commands like door (open/close) and light (on/off) and view all of the information availability from the API. Feedback appreciated, go easy its my first integration attempt. I want to be able to use the Sun2 integration to send the current sun rise and set times to the door. The light sensor works fine but with tree coverage it’s not always accurate. Cheers! Hope someone finds this useful!
I just wanted to say thank you! We’re using this on our new Chicken Coop Dashboard and it works perfectly.
Hi Matthew,
I’ve certainly found this useful. I just replaced an ‘old’ Omlet door controller with the new wifi one. This integration you’ve made is great to make it really sing (so to speak).
I’ll be adding a second door to another part of the coop and I hope just adding it along side the existing one in the existing integration will be easy.
Thanks so much for the time and effort you’ve put into this - much appreciated - it’ll help keep our chooks safe at night and in the early morning.
Cheers
Stephen Jeffers
My wife bought an Omlet door a while ago because we were preparing for chickens. It took a while but finally our first three chickens arrived this past week. I had checked the Omlet/Home Assistant situation before but nobody had done anything yet. Thinking I’d have to integrate things myself, I decided to give it another Google search and found your integration. I tried it and as far as I can tell, it works very well. My wife will be very happy with this. Will definitely buy you a coffee.
Thanks for the kind words and coffee!!!
Thank you very much for this integration, Matthew!
I made an automation that sets the door’s open time to 15 minutes before sunrise and the door’s close time to 30 minutes after sunset. The automation is triggered every Monday and Thursday at 12:00h.
The automation also sets the door’s “Deep Sleep” time 5 minutes after the closing time and 5 minutes before the opening time.
Thought this might be helpful for folks that are looking to get the door to open and close based on sunset/sunrise times.
(Obviously, the door’s setting needs to be set to “Time” in the app. Also, the “Sun” integration needs to be installed in Home Assistant.)

I released an update today that included support for webhooks among other improvements. It’s that so many people are enjoying this integration! Cheers!!!
Hello, thank you for creating this integration!
I have just installed Home Assistant and integrating our two Omlet coops is the first “real” thing I have tried in HA. My intent is to be able to automate changing door open and closing times based upon the sunrise and sunset for my location.
Am I correct that this is not yet possible with this integration at this time because the door open and shut times are “diagnostic” and thus not assignable within HA?
Also, is the YAML automation two posts up something that can work with this integration?
Thank you and sorry for the beginner questions.
Hi @alpinel - you can ABSOLUTELY do this with this integration. The door open and shut function can be called by using Actions in your automation. What I do is update the schedule everynight to follow the sunrise / sunset time. Here is my YAML.

Thank you for the quick and thorough response. I have tried to reduce your above code to just cover updating the door open and close times based upon sunrise and sunset.
Below is what I am attempting to save in HA’s YAML editor in the automation section. I keep getting the error message(or a close variation ther of):
Message malformed: extra keys not allowed @ data[‘actions’][0][‘conditions’]
I have tried some things, sometimes creating other error messages, but I cannot get rid of the above.
I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you!

That error usually means there is an indentation problem in your YAML. Try this or I would suggest using the GUI for automation.

That worked, thank you. Rookie mistake. 
My past programming experience was in languages where formatting is generally cosmetic only.
This just successfully updated the open/close times of one of my coops.
Thanks again!
Anytime! YAML is super sensitive to indentation. Just a FYI, the integration also fully supports the Omlet Smart Fan!
Thanks Again!
Great stuff @krozgrov much appreciated.
