Thanks for watching! I appreciate you stopping by, we have a shared interest.

A viewer building this spotted an error in my wiring diagram!! Ahhhh so sorry! The GitHub link below has the updated wire diagram.

For this project we built a chicken coop door that is operated by a smart phone app.
This allows you to monitor your chicken coop door remotely, open and close it remotely, set a schedule for operation, and operate it using Amazon Alexa. Some Chicken Coop door with less features sell for ~$200, this one with smart phone features was about ~$75.

Let me know if you need help, I'll be there to answer any questions.
If you have a better idea, want to share you build, or have seen a similar video, let me know and I'll post it here.

Always looking for projects. If you have an idea and need help, let me know and maybe we can make a video together.
