Hi,

I need to build a little alarm circuit that starts beeping if a door is open for more than a set time, for example 30 seconds.

This needs to be build into a save.

So, I installed a little switch.

Switch opens, circuit waits for 30 seconds, little beeper goes off. Can stay on, until door gets closed.

Just to clarify, this is not an official alarm (that’s a different system) and just a reminder to close the door fully.

I believe this should be very simple, but I don't know were to start. I am German and now live in the US, but have no idea were to get help.

I would appreciate any hint !

Stephan

Yep, the 555 timer is where you want to start. Check the datasheet or just Google for "555 monostable" and you will find plenty of circuits.

I made such circuit for the refregirator door, monostable timer circuit using 555 IC, the switch is powering the whole circuit with 12v, then a transistor or a relay to switch what you need on or off.
