Hello
I plan to install a 12V battery solar charged dusk to dawn sliding door on my chicken coop.
I am very good with mechanics but to bad in electronics so I hope I can find some help to get the wiring done.
I can solder that's not a problem if this help with the solutions.
My goal is to open the door ind the morning with a LDR sensor perfect would be if I can use the solar panel to trigger the motor to open the door.
And than close it when it is dark maybe a 20 min delay after dawn to make sure all the chicken inside ....
I am not sure but are they not already limit switches in the window regulator motor ?
Here is my list what I did buy so far :

do I need to get a 12V Photocell to ?
I think I still need to buy relays but what relays I should use and how to wire this. After I have all the parts is it possible that I do a nice picture and somebody draws the wiring free hand with paint in the picture ? I try to read the wiring diagrams but I am just not good in this.
Maybe at this point its a little to early because the parts not here yet but my idea was to ask to maybe get a good solution from the beginning without buying the wrong parts
Well and sorry my English is not perfect I am from Germany but moved 6 years ago to the US
