Re: Garage Door Question

["Ranger" <a@xxxxx>]

I put a keypad in my garage; 90 second exit delay, and 2 minute entry delay
on the overhead door. Younger, quicker person could make it less, I suppose.
You can see and hear the keypad from the car.

I don't like keyfobs for home - it is like writing the alarm code on the
wall next to the keypad.
