    You can use the Millis() timer to check, and do whatever you want after the time reached.

    You need to declare it as more than an int ( long will work)

     

    I use a 30 second one in one of my sketches

     

    int ButtonTimeout = 30000;          
    // Timeout if no button is pressed. Note wipe interval is lower than this.   [30 seconds] 
     
    
    
    unsigned long ButtonPressTime = 0;  
    // Time the last button was pressed.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    if (((millis()-ButtonPressTime) > ButtonTimeout) && (IntWipe == 1))    
    // 30 Sec timeout for no button press, but only after stopped, or 1 start.
    
    
    
    {
     IntWipe = 0;
     LastWipeTime = 0;
     WipeInterval = 0;   
    }
