Kokot is an Automatic chicken coop door which helps to keep your chickens safe by working on sunrise and sunset hours to open and close. A chicken coop door is essential and its primary purpose is to provide safety for your chickens from predators. Kokot is an automatic chicken coop door which works with battery power and solar panel. It is designed to be as cheap as possible, fully automatic and will be a "low energy" device. All the design is shared (open hardware and open source) on my hackaday project : https://hackaday.io/project/189482-kokot-a-low-energy-chicken-coop-door The PCB can be ordered at PCBWay although I do have a few spares available: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/Kokot_a_low_energy_chicken_coop_door_cba5ca2c.html Everything is printed with free and strong PET filament made from plaxtic bottles : https://hackaday.io/project/185196-pullstruder-from-plastic-bottle-to-pet-filament [edit 2023/06/15] I replaced the IR sensor by a much more reliable hall effect switch. https://hackaday.io/project/189482/log/220272-kokot-version-3-hall-effect-switch
