In automation there are private routines and household routines.

How can I edit this so that private routines will be household routines and vice versa??

Hi ArMa,

Thanks for visiting the Community.

Regarding your question about routines, you might want to follow these steps:

Set up Home & Away Routines for your home

To set up Home & Away Routines for the first time:

1. Open the Google Home app tap Set up Home & Away Routines.
2. Tap Home or Away.
3. Select the devices and settings you want the Routines to adjust.
4. (Optional) Select the devices you want to use to determine if someone's home.
5. (Optional) Set up your phone's location to be used for presence sensing.
   • You'll need to enter your home address and confirm it by placing a pin on a map.

Manage what your devices do when you leave and come home

Add a device action

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. On the Home screen , tap Routines .
3. Under "Household Routines," select Home or Away.
4. Tap Add action .
5. Available devices will appear. Check the box next to the one you want to add actions for. You can also select multiple devices that have at least one action in common, like 2 or more smart lights.
   • Note: If no devices appear, then there are no devices available to add to the Routine. The app will let you know.
6. Tap Next.
7. Available actions for each device you select will appear. The app will also explain what each action does. Choose each action you want your device to take.
8. Tap Add action.
9. Tap Save to save any changes.
   • You can also tap Close near the top of the screen to discard any changes you've made.

Remove device actions

1. Open the Google Home app .
2. On the Home screen , tap Routines .
3. Under "Household Routines," select Home or Away.
4. Tap Edit .
5. Tap Delete next to the devices you want to remove all actions for.
6. Tap Save to save any changes.
   • You can also tap Close near the top of the screen to discard any changes you've made.

Hope this helps. 

Best,

Princess
