Feature Request: setting for length of inactivity before switching to Away mode

[hdman]

The Nest and Home apps would benefit from  a simple setting for length of presence sensing inactivity before switching to Away mode. The current settings often switch it into Away mode overnight, dropping the temperature dramatically and shutting other systems down, making smart sensing unusable for us. We are using it In a cottage, where we are Away for days to weeks, not hours, and where using phone presence is not an option. Being able to specify that Away mode should kick in only after XX (e.g. 24) hours of presence sensing inactivity would solve this.

Request it through the Home / Nest app feedback function. I don't know how often any actual Google employees read this forum. As a work around you can disable eco mode when you arrive, and enable it again on departure.
