Yes, I saw the response, Garrett, and it wasn't helpful at all. Sorry.
EVERY time I run the routine called "Leaving home", a routine that Google hard-coded into the Google Home app and which triggers using the keyword, "Goodbye", the routine will do all the things that I ask of it and then conclude by asking me: "By the way, do you want to set your home to away?" I don't want to. No. I never do. I have everything configured such that it isn't necessary. More specifically, I do NOT want to be asked this question EVERY TIME THE ROUTINE RUNS!
Worse yet, if I don't answer the question, Google continues with, "Sorry, I don't understand. Do you want to set your home to away? Sorry, I don't understand. Do you want to set your home to away? Sorry, I don't understand."
And to add even more nonsense to this problem, ALL of the presence sensing features have been completely disabled within the app! There is no reason for this question (or the continued string of questions)!
I've solved this issue by creating my own routine that effectively accomplishes the same things without the crap. But I've been using the Leaving home routine for a long time and this new set of questions is the result of a software "upgrade" from Google. So the habits I've formed over a very, very long time now have to be different and use a different keyword because of impacts that Google is forcing. More importantly, why isn't the routine smart enough to know that I have presence sensing features turned off and, consequently, not ask the question(s)?
[BTW, when is Google going to let us change the name we use to get its attention and initiate actions? I've got some REALLY choice words I'd like to use in place of 'Google'.]
