Use this article to learn about any devices that you manage in the Nest app. For devices that you manage in the Home app, go to our About Home & Away Routines article.
Home/Away Assist uses input from activity sensors in your Nest products managed in the Nest app and your phone’s location to automatically switch the behavior of Nest products in your home when you leave and when you come back. You don’t have to manually set each product or rely on a fixed schedule.
Nest products can work together to automatically do the right thing as you come and go.
