Default garage door opener that automatically closes?

the only thing I'm finding is an aftermarket 'butler' that works
wirelessly, which is fine, but do any openers have this built in?


I'd buy one.

Every morning on the way out, I

1. Watch the door close all the way.
2. Say to myself three times out loud "I closed the garage door".
3. Turn around and look as I drive off.
4. Still wonder if I forgot to close it.

This is all on top of the normal checklist (wallet - phone - keys -
sunglasses - parking pass - badge - train ticket - zipper up - front
door locked - back door locked - basement door locked - windows closed
- space heater unplugged - furnace off/set - lights off). No wonder
I'm late for work all the time.

There's nothing in the house worth stealing but the garage is full of
tools and motorcycles. Too much temptation. It would be great if,
after 30 minutes of no motion in the garage, the door would close on
it's own.
