It isn=E2=80=99t difficult as long as you can access one of the wires betwee=
n switches & the power to the lights. You will need a relay with a coil rate=
d at the light voltage. I assume that it is 120v. You also don=E2=80=99t wan=
t to turn the lights off if they already on! Do you want to allow the light t=
imer in the GDO to turn off the lights or do you want to be able to turn the=
m off manually without waiting for the delay?

I can draw up a drawing for you.=20
