Just realized my $20 automatic door opener from Tractor Supply is way more reliable than the $150 'smart' one I bought online
Honestly, the smart one failed after 3 months because the app kept disconnecting, but the basic timer-based one has opened at sunrise every morning for a year without a single glitch, so what's the better long-term choice for a coop?

My smart opener has worked flawlessly for two years with zero app issues.

Flawlessly for two years" is the key part. Makes me wonder what happens when the company that makes the app shuts down or gets bought out. Your opener becomes a dumb brick.
