Porte automatique SmartCoop Kerbl Automate and secure your chicken coop

With the SmartCoop Kerbl system, you fully automate the opening and closing of the chicken coop to ensure the safety of your animals while saving valuable time every day. This range comes in two versions to adapt to all installations: - The complete SmartCoop automatic door, ideal for a new installation; - The SmartCoop opening mechanism, perfect for automating an already existing hatch. Both models work exclusively with the SmartCoop control unit. ## Which version to choose? ### Complete SmartCoop automatic side door This version includes a motorized sliding door ready to be installed. It is particularly recommended if: - You are building a new chicken coop; - You want to replace an old door; - You are looking for a complete ready-to-assemble solution. The set directly integrates the drive system, guaranteeing particularly reliable opening and closing. ### SmartCoop string opening mechanism This version is intended for owners who already have a vertical hatch. The motor simply activates your existing door. It is suitable for vertical hatches made of: - Wood; - Aluminum; - Steel; - Plastic. The mechanism can drive a door weighing up to 3 kg, which covers the vast majority of family chicken coops. This solution allows you to easily modernize a chicken coop without replacing the existing door. ## A fully automatic opening Once connected to the SmartCoop unit, the door can operate automatically in several modes: - Opening and closing at scheduled times; - Opening and closing based on external light levels; - Manual control when necessary. You choose the operating mode that best suits your installation. ## Maximum protection against predators The automatic closing effectively protects your poultry as soon as night falls. Unlike systems simply using a cable or rope, the complete SmartCoop door is equipped with a rack mechanism ensuring reliable locking. This system significantly limits the risk of unintentional opening and makes the door much harder for a predator to force. Your chickens remain protected, even during your absence. ## Intelligent light detection SmartCoop is not just about measuring light. The system can distinguish natural light variations from stray lighting. Car headlights, lightning, or a temporary light source do not cause the door to open unintentionally. This technology greatly enhances the safety of your poultry. ## An always available emergency opening In case of a power outage or if you wish to intervene manually, the door can be operated without difficulty. You thus maintain permanent access to the chicken coop regardless of the circumstances. ## Simple installation Complete door The automatic door is delivered ready to be installed. You just need to connect it to the SmartCoop unit and then adjust the desired settings. Opening mechanism The motor is directly mounted on your chicken coop and activates the existing hatch using its integrated 200 cm cable. This solution allows you to keep your current door while benefiting from SmartCoop automation. ## Why choose a SmartCoop door? Many automatic door openers operate completely independently. The SmartCoop door goes much further. It integrates into a truly intelligent ecosystem capable of working with: - SmartCoop LED lighting; - Light sensor; - Temperature probe; - Wi-Fi module; - Ventilation; - Water heater; - Other SmartCoop accessories. Your door thus becomes an element of a truly autonomous chicken coop. ## Compatibility Both models are exclusively compatible with the SmartCoop Kerbl system. Note: These products necessarily require: - The SmartCoop Kerbl control unit (ref. 70600).

They cannot operate autonomously.

Comparison of the two models

Our opinion

We consider these two solutions as the ideal starting point to create an autonomous chicken coop.

If you are building a new chicken coop or wish to replace your old hatch, the SmartCoop complete automatic door is the simplest and most robust solution.

However, if your chicken coop is already equipped with a vertical door in good condition, the SmartCoop opening mechanism is an excellent alternative. It allows you to automate your setup at a lower cost while benefiting from all the features offered by the SmartCoop ecosystem.

Both versions offer the same goal: effectively secure your poultry, automate your daily life, and prepare your chicken coop to become increasingly smarter.
