Can I stop music playback while away form home?

[Logan004]

I was using youtube music while at work and kept getting the error "playback paused because your account is being used in another location". I realized I left my Google home on and playing music at my house. Is there any way to turn this off while I'm away? I cannot access my home wifi so I'm unable to use the home app. Is there any kind of workaround?

Use Google Assistant on Your Phone – Say:
👉"Hey Google, stop playing music on [your device name]."

Use Google Account Device Settings –

Go to Google’s Device Activity Page.
Find your Google Home device and sign it out. This should stop playback.
Try YouTube Music App –

Open YouTube Music.
Start playing something on your phone to override playback on your home device.

Hi Logan004,

Thanks for reaching out to our community.

I highly appreciate your inquiry about the way to turn your Google Home device off while you are away from your house. I’m glad to assist you in finding the right answer.

In response to your inquiry, I recommend you create a Home & Away routine; these are household routines that can start when everyone's away or someone comes home. They work with devices that you manage in the Google Home app.

To create a Home & Away Routine for your home, please follow these instructions:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Tap “Automations.”
3. Under “Household Routines,” tap “Home” or “Away.”
4. Set up your Home and Away Routines by selecting the devices and settings you want to adjust when someone comes home or when everyone is away.
5. Set up your phone's location to be used for presence sensing. To do this, you'll need to enter your home address and confirm it by placing a pin on a map.
6. Select any other devices you want to use to determine if someone's home.

Add device action:

1. Open the Google Home app.
2. Tap “Automations.”
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.
6. Tap Next.
7. Available actions for each device you select will appear. Choose each action you want your device to take.
8. Tap Add action.
9. Tap Save to save any changes.

Thanks for your kind attention; I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Virna
