Thanks, but I doubt it. Using time as a means to ensure the gas has
dissipated doesn't seem like a very safe method.

Besides that would imply more intelligence than my very basic dryer has.

I think it's as much or more the age of the dryer as how basic it is.
If the high end models have this kind of logic, if it's been developed
and used, they should use it in all their models, even the cheap ones.
For the sake of safety, morality, and avoiding lawsuits.
