Why do I have to press the coop door button twice before the door opens?

The first press triggers the coop door to connect to the internet and check for pending tasks.
The second press executes your manual opening command.
This is expected behavior and is designed to prevent command conflicts. For more information, see What is command collision? (related FAQ: command-collision).
