Why are my home and away routines missing? I've seen some more post's about this in the community but no clear answers. I have the presence sensing ON and it seems that it can tell if I'm home or not, but I can't make changes to the routine because I can't see them. I've cleared cache and data and reinstalled the app. Please help.

I think unless you have Nest Aware or some other Google/Nest subscription, Home and Away is just for notifying other people in the household that you're home or not.
There are 2 Personal Automations that cannot be deleted and they're not "Home" or "Away" routines, but are named "I'm Home" and "Leaving Home".
You will have to add a Starter of Leaving or Arriving at a location to utilise presence sensing.
I could never get presence sensing to work properly with my phone, but it's no great loss as I can do more with Alexa.

Ok, so I made the routines reappear by creating a new Google account, invite it to my home, setting upp the home/away routines with the new account and then kicking it out. But now I got a new problem. My Google Home is only sensing when I'm coming home, not when I'm going away. To be continued...
