The parts I used for the Chicken Auto Door

  • Photoresistor GL5537 5537 LDR Photo Resistors Light-Dependent

  • 10k Ohm Resistors, 1/4 W, 5%

  • Expansion Shield for Arduino UNO Nano 3.0

  • DC 12V 8W Open Frame Type Solenoid for Electric Door Lock

  • 4 Channel 5V Relay Module

  • Magnetic Switch

  • uxcell 3.5kg.cm Torque 6mm Shaft Magnetic Geared Motor 5RPM 150mA 12V

  • Single Pole Double Throw Center Off Toggle Switch

  • 0.1uF 50VDC DIP Low Voltage Ceramic Disc Capacitor

At first I tried a photocell but after the first rain storm and the door closing I realized a photocell by itself was not a good idea.
