const int buttonpin = 2;
const int relaypin = 3;

void setup() {
    pinmode(buttonpin, input_pullup);

    digitalwrite(relaypin, low);
    pinmode(relaypin, output);
}

void loop() {
    if (digitalread(buttonpin) == low) { // if button ground closed
        digitalwrite(relaypin, high);  // turn on relay
        delay(60000);  // wait 60 seconds
        digitalwrite(relaypin, low);   // tun off relay
    }
