Hi, im wondering if anyone is familiar with using nest aware home/away with multiple phones. I have not tried to use the option yet but im curious as to what happens when i set it up on both of my phones but accidentally leave one of the phones home. Rather than go through the trouble of setting it up and messing with it, im hoping someone has some experience with this issue.

It is really pretty basic. Google doesn't track you, it tracks devices. Any device you set up for presence detection, it detects. If the device's location is detected "as at home", then it is not away. So, if you leave a device (phone) at home that you have enabled Google to detect it's presence, then it is not "away". It is very easy to turn on or off in under the Google Home app under Settings > Presence Sensing
