Wrong away detections AGAIN

Google Home is AGAIN detecting me as away while instead being at home.

I've had this problem for weeks a few months ago, opened endless cases to Google to no avail, they never admitted it was a server side issue, and eventually the problem went away by itself.

 

Now the problem is back again as of yesterday: I am at home and suddenly my AWAY routine runs for no reason. It happened also tonight. And this morning when I woke up, I picked my phone and the away routine run. 

 

I am.jsing both location and wifi for away detection, so the problem must be again a server side issue.

Anyone else?

if you use VPN or workprofile on the same device it could interfere. 

Also the location settings are pretty specific. try turning on timeline if you havent yet.

 

If the area around you is very crowded with other signals they might push your gps outside of the 'home' zone too. I dont think there is a fix for that.

It is obvious it's not my problem but Google's problem (again).
