Wife and older son can not remember to close the garage door about half the time. They drive off and even come in and leave it up at all hours. Not only does it create a security issue, it also wastes heating and AC. Is there some kind of timer that can be added that will automatically close the door after a couple of minutes? It is a mid-range Genie .
Thanks,
Marc

Does that go in the signal to close wire? That relay works off of 120v according to that page. Is the signal wire 120v? Just curious. I would like to get one.
if you do that make sure you have one of those object in the way sensors not motion but something in the way so if you have the truck parked half out while changing the air filter whatever it does not close on your truck
