The Brinsea ChickSafe Advance is an automated chicken coop door opener designed to provide convenience and security for poultry keepers. Its primary function is to automatically open and close a chicken coop door, offering protection for chickens from predators and ensuring they are let out and secured at appropriate times.
The ChickSafe Advance operates by winding a cord to raise and lower a chicken coop door. It can be configured to open and close based on either a 24-hour clock time setting or ambient light levels, providing flexibility to suit various environments and routines. The device incorporates internal end-stop detection to recognize when the door is fully open and senses when the door's weight is no longer supported on the cord to confirm it is closed. This intelligent detection system helps prevent motor damage and ensures proper door operation. For safety, if the unit detects a flat battery, it will keep the door closed. It also includes a "Manual Override Mode" which allows users to temporarily disable automatic operation for manual control when needed.
