Available Open and Close Options
Manual
This disables the automatic open or close cycle of the door.
Sensor
This uses the onboard light sensor to open or close the door when the sun rises or sets
Timer
You can set a time of day for the door to open or close
Calculated Time
This calculates the sunrise or sunset time at your particular location every day and updates the ChickenGuard automatically. You may set an offset to this calculated time anywhere between +/-90mins of sunrise or sunset.
For example, if sunrise is shown as 05:30 but you wanted to have the door open at 06:00, by applying an offset of +30mins, the door would open at 06:00.
As the daylight hours change throughout the season, the sunrise/set times are calaculated for each day based on your geolocation.
LUX+
only available for the Close Cycle
When choosing the LUX+ option, the ChickenGuard will use the light sensor as its primary method to close. However, when choosing this option, you are asked to enter a time. This is a default time so that, should the door not be closed by the default time, the door will then close based on the entered time.
This can be useful during the summer months where is some places it does not get dark until close to midnight.
