SmartCoop Kerbl: create your autonomous chicken coop

Raising a few chickens is a true passion, but it also involves numerous daily tasks: opening and closing the coop morning and evening, monitoring the temperature, checking the ventilation, protecting the water from freezing, and ensuring everything functions correctly during an absence. With **SmartCoop by Kerbl**, these constraints gradually become a thing of the past. More than just a range of accessories, SmartCoop is a true intelligent system that transforms a traditional coop into an **autonomous coop**, capable of automatically managing many essential functions for the well-being of your poultry. Thanks to its modular operation, you start with a central control unit and then gradually add the equipment that matches your needs: automatic door, lighting, ventilation, temperature management, water heater, Wi-Fi connection, solar power supply... You build an evolving coop that makes life easier day by day. ## SmartCoop: a true intelligent ecosystem Unlike traditional automatic door openers that serve only one function, SmartCoop is a complete system capable of centralizing the management of several coop equipment. All accessories communicate with a single control unit, the true brain of the installation. The objective is simple: - Reduce daily interventions; - Improve the comfort and well-being of the poultry; - Enhance coop security; - Facilitate absences of a few days; - Gradually evolve your installation. You are not investing in a simple accessory but in an evolving solution that will accompany your coop for many years. ## The control unit: the essential starting point Every SmartCoop installation begins with the **Kerbl control unit**. This central unit manages all compatible equipment in the range. It allows for the management of: - Opening and closing times; - Lighting cycles; - The coop temperature; - Ventilation; - Air extraction; - Water heater; - Various sensors; - Automatic controls. The unit operates on the main power, a 12 V battery, or can be powered by a solar kit, making it possible to install even in a coop far from any electrical supply. ## A fully modular range One of SmartCoop's main advantages lies in its modularity. You can start with a simple door automation and then progressively enhance your installation by adding the modules that suit your needs. Each piece of equipment simply connects to the central unit. You never replace your system; you make it evolve. ## Automate the opening and closing of the coop The first module chosen by most users is naturally the SmartCoop automatic door. It opens and closes the coop automatically according to: - The programmed time; - Or the external brightness. If your coop already has a vertical hatch, an opening motor can also automate it without replacing the entire door. Result: - No need to go outside morning and evening; - Better protection against foxes and other predators; - Peace of mind during your absences. ## Automatically manage the coop's climate Thermal comfort is essential for the well-being of poultry. Thanks to the temperature sensor associated with the various SmartCoop modules, your installation can automatically manage: ## Ventilation When the temperature becomes too high, the fan can start automatically to renew the air and limit thermal stress. ## Air extraction The extractor removes moisture, bad odors, and ammonia while improving air quality in the coop. This function is particularly interesting in closed or heavily populated coops. ## Automate the lighting The SmartCoop LED lighting allows precise programming of lighting periods. Coupled with the brightness sensor, the system automatically adapts its operation according to outdoor conditions. You thus enjoy intelligent lighting without daily intervention. ## Prevent the waterer from freezing In winter, Frozen water quickly becomes a constraint.

Thanks to the SmartCoop waterer heater, water remains available even when temperatures drop below freezing.

The system only operates when necessary to limit energy consumption.

Stay in control with the Wi-Fi module

For even more convenience, the Wi-Fi module allows you to connect your SmartCoop system to your home network.

From the dedicated app, you can:

• Check the system status;
• Change certain settings;
• Monitor the operation of the coop;
• Receive various notifications.

This way, you can keep an eye on your setup without having to go to the coop.

Install your system even without electricity

Is your coop installed at the back of the garden or in a meadow?

The SmartCoop solar kit allows you to power the system with a solar panel and a 12 V battery.

You can thus enjoy SmartCoop's functions even in the absence of an electrical connection.
