Unité de contrôle SmartCoop Kerbl The brain of your autonomous chicken coop

With this central unit, your farm is gradually evolving into an intelligent chicken coop, capable of automatically managing door opening, ventilation, lighting, temperature, frost protection, and many other functions. Whether you simply wish to automate the opening of your chicken coop or build a fully autonomous installation, everything starts with this control unit.

The Starting Point for Any SmartCoop Installation

Unlike traditional automatic door openers that serve only one function, SmartCoop is based on a completely different principle. The control unit centralizes all the equipment in your chicken coop so they work together. You start with a single unit, then add only the modules that are useful to you. Your installation evolves over time without needing to replace the already installed equipment.

What Can the SmartCoop Unit Control?

The control unit can manage several compatible SmartCoop range devices simultaneously. It can notably control:

• A SmartCoop automatic door;
• An opening motor for an existing door;
• Programmable LED lighting;
• A light sensor;
• A temperature probe;
• A fan;
• An air extractor;
• An antifreeze waterer heater;
• An electric timer;
• A Wi-Fi module;
• And future SmartCoop-compatible accessories.

Thanks to its 12 internal slots, the unit can accommodate multiple modules simultaneously to build a system perfectly suited to your chicken coop.

Fully Automatic Management

Once the various modules are installed, the control unit manages their operation. Depending on the connected equipment, it can notably:

• Automatically open and close the door;
• Trigger ventilation when the temperature rises;
• Activate the extractor to improve air quality;
• Automatically manage lighting periods;
• Protect the waterer against freezing;
• Control different electrical devices based on a timer or temperature thresholds.

You define the settings once, and SmartCoop takes care of the rest.

Simple and Intuitive Use

Despite its many possibilities, SmartCoop remains particularly simple to use. Its large backlit screen allows easy access to various menus and quick adjustment of settings. Even a user with no electronics knowledge can configure their setup thanks to clear navigation and intuitive menus.

An Evolving Installation

One of the main advantages of SmartCoop is its modularity. You can perfectly start with a very simple installation, then gradually add new equipment. For example: First Step

• Control unit
• Automatic door

Then add later:

• LED lighting
• Temperature probe
• Fan
• Waterer heater
• Wi-Fi module
• Solar kit

You invest only in the functions you really need.

Compatible with Mains or Standalone Power Supply

The control unit can operate in different ways:

• 230 V mains supply;
• 12 V low voltage supply;
• Battery power;
• Power via the SmartCoop solar kit.

This versatility allows the system to be installed in a chicken coop located near the house or in an isolated installation in a field or at the end of the garden.

A Robust Design Made for Outdoor Use

Designed for use in an agricultural environment, the SmartCoop unit features:

• A robust shock-resistant casing;
• Dust protection (IP32);
• An easily readable backlit screen;
• An integrated light sensor;
• A status indicator light.

It is thus designed to operate durably in the demanding conditions of a chicken coop.

Why Choose SmartCoop Over a Simple Automatic Door Opener?

A classic door opener only automates the opening and closing of the chicken coop. With SmartCoop, you are investing in a much more complete solution.

Today, you can start by automating your door.

Tomorrow, you will also be able to:

• Automatically manage the temperature;
• Improve ventilation;
• Protect water against freezing;
• Schedule lighting;
• Connect your setup to your smartphone;
• Upgrade your coop without replacing your equipment.

SmartCoop thus supports your farming for many years.

Our opinion

At Terwagne-élevage, we consider the SmartCoop control unit as the true starting point of an autonomous chicken coop.

Rather than accumulating different independent devices, SmartCoop centralizes all the functions of your chicken coop into a single intelligent, scalable, and easy-to-use system.

You are investing today in a solid base that you can evolve at your own pace, to provide your poultry with an ever more comfortable environment while reducing the daily constraints of the farmer.
