Please bare with me here. It's my first kinda how I did it video. I used a 12v power supply that I will change to a battery and solar panel eventually. I got 2 timers from eBay to run the system and a 12" stroke actuator with a 200 lb push/pull so it has plenty of strength to open and close the door. I needed to find a way to reverse the polarity on the actuator so I got a DPDT relay and block from Amazon. One timer powers the system twice a day and the other reverses the polarity in the relay once a day. It took a lot of research to figure this out. I'm not overly experienced in electronics. Comment if you like my system. I'll probably post more videos as I automate the coop. Thank you.
