Two methods listed here.
One method uses a simple datetime trigger....it runs every 5 minutes...if the garage has been left open and there hasn't been any motion it will announce. This is a much simpler design and for something like this, it doesn't need to be perfectly accurate with regard to 5 minute intervals. If you leave the garage open at 5:41 then it won't announce until 5:50, and that's probably going to be fine.
The other method is more complex, uses multiple triggers, loops etc. It's more "accurate" in that the announcement will always be at the 5 minute mark. But why overcomplicate it if you don't have to.
