Hello,

I just got my Nest and i wantes to set up a routine for turning everytging off once I am away. When setting up the "away" trigger as presense sensing it tells me that more steps are needed.

There are actually links telling me where to find the settings. Example from the imbedded help link in my App

Open the Google Home app Google Home app.

Tap Home settings and then Presence sensing.

 

Well seems like this information is just not true anymore. This setting buttom is either gone or hidden somwhere now. Either way I can not activate it and this feature was one of my main reasons to switch from alexa to google...

If anyone know where to find that now it would be highly appriciated

Hi @CJWoodpecker,

 

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand you want to set up a routine to turn off everything when you are away, and when you are setting up the away trigger, it tells you that more steps are needed, and you don't find the button to set up away routines. I'm happy to assist.

To gather the necessary information, please answer the following questions:

  • What kind of devices are you trying to turn off when you leave? Are they all Nest devices?
  • Is your Google Home app up to date?
  • Are you trying to create a personal routine or a household routine?

In the meantime, you can take a look at the following article: Create and manage routines in Google Home.

I'll be waiting for your reply.

 

Best regards.

Derick.
