Bluetooth door: setup and how it works

It's the same trusted door: it opens at sunrise and closes at sunset on its own. The difference? There's no button on the door. You open and close it from your phone with the free Run-Chicken app.

💡 Good to know: We're working on bringing door control into the Coop app. For now, use Run-Chicken.

Set it up

Download the free Run-Chicken app from the App Store.
Put the 2 included AA batteries in the door.
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone, open the app, add your door and pair it.
Tap Open or Close in the app. You'll need to be within about 30 feet of the door. No WiFi needed.

Things to know

⚠️ No button on this door. To open or close it by hand, use the Run-Chicken app.
The Coop app doesn't control this door yet. It's for your cameras.
Batteries last about a year, and the door is rated down to -10°F.
Have Coop cameras? Eggstein can still let you know when your door is open or closed.

Still stuck?

Trouble pairing? Just message us with a screenshot of what the Run-Chicken app shows and your phone model. Thank you for being part of our flock! 🐔
