Home and Away routines missing

claramcarvalho — Wed, 15 Jan 2025 00:05:17 GMT

My Google Home app doesn't show the Home and Away routines. When I try to create them, the app says that the routines names should be unique.

I have exact location on, and it is working well for a manual routine that I created (something like Leaving Home and I'm At Home). I need the "original" routines though, to set with my family and set a family state where there isn't anyone home.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Hi @claramcarvalho!

Thanks for posting in the community.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience that you’ve been having when trying to set up your routines. I understand that you would like to have the ability to set a routine that detects when there isn’t anyone at home and when you are at home. No worries I’m here to help you with that. To have this working, you will need to use the Home & Away routines, and you can set it up following the next steps:

Open the Google Home app.
Tap Automations.
Under Household Routines, tap Home or Away.
Set up your Home and Away Routines by selecting the devices and settings you want to adjust when someone comes home or when everyone is away.
Set up your phone's location to be used for presence sensing. To do this, you'll need to enter your home address and confirm it by placing a pin on a map.
Select any other devices you want to use to determine if someone's home.

You can check the next articles for further information: Home & Away Routines and Nest Home and Away not working.

Tell me how it goes.

Regards,

Daniel.
