Automation with conditional on minutes since setting SimpliSafe alarm

I am trying to set up automation so opening a garage door shuts off my alarm and makes an API call (to change heat/AC on Nest - custom API since Google is awful and doesn’t work natively with Home Assistant )

The flow I think I have right now (below) is … if my garage door or my wife’s door opens and the alarm is set to home or away it takes the appropriate action.

The missing piece is I only want this to happen if the alarm has been set for longer than 10 mins
or else I’ll set the alarm on my way out and opening my door to leave will disarm it.

I’ve been poking around but can’t find how to do it. Is there a way to get the time since the state change on the alarm and use that as a conditional?
