It's not a big deal. Just get an Altronix delay timer and set it to
trip 20 minutes after the door opens to cause the door to close. Or.
use the timer to ring a sounder after 20 minutes. Depends what you
want. If you're afraid you'll leave the door open when you go out, use
the first method. If you just want to be notified when you're home,
use the second method. Or use two timers ..... one to ring a sounder
for 20 minutes and another to close the door after 30 minutes. If you
have a Napco panel you can use the timers in the programing to do the
same thing.
