Automatic Chicken Door Control with WiFi, Kerbl

The Kerbl automatic chicken door control with Wi-Fi support is an intelligent Smart Farming device designed for full automation and remote monitoring of poultry access to outdoor runs. The product eliminates the need for the farmer’s physical presence at the coop in the morning and evening, while providing maximum protection against nocturnal predators through precise light- and time-controlled locking systems.

Application

The controller is designed for modern, digitally integrated poultry farms:

• Smart poultry houses → remote door control and status monitoring from anywhere in the world via mobile app.
• Biosecurity protection → automatic closing at dusk minimizes contact with wild animals.
• Large flock management → multiple devices can be grouped in one application for easier control of several coops simultaneously.
• Working environment → stationary chicken coops connected to a Wi-Fi network.

Principle of operation

The device uses a wireless Wi-Fi communication module connected to the manufacturer’s cloud system, allowing interaction via smartphone application. The drive mechanism operates a lifting cable that raises and lowers sliding coop doors. Users can configure schedules based on:

• Timer mode → precise opening and closing times regardless of external conditions.
• Light sensor mode → automatic adjustment according to sunrise and sunset.
• Remote/manual mode → instant door operation directly from the mobile app.

Additionally, the “Stop&Back” safety system detects resistance under the door and immediately stops and reverses the motor to protect animals from injury.

In practice

• Full mobile control → users receive notifications about door status and potential failures.
• Expert Kerbl quality → electronics designed to withstand ammonia vapors and high humidity in poultry environments.
• Time savings → automation of daily routines improves farm workflow efficiency.
• Easy configuration → intuitive pairing with home Wi-Fi networks.
