If you have a 1st or 2nd Generation thermostat it's still sending data to Google

Is there ANY way to turn this Gen 4 "Auto-Eco" when away BS off permanently????

4th Gen - Only ONE schedule for all modes?

UPDATE! IT'S FIXED! - No Home or Away routines in Google Home? 2nd Gen Cam won't turn on with Away?

Nest Protect just issued a smoke emergency alarm but there was none
