I've started using IFTTT to work around some of this. For example, I have it set home/away based on an IFTTT geofence. Unfortunately, IFTTT doesn't do home/away yet, but you can write your own trivial "app" to do it simply by registering as a dev and using the Maker channel in IFTTT.

This type of workarounds would make sense if we were dealing with a product built by a few makers and released as a set of blueprints online... This is produced by a company that Google, the most valuable company in the world, bought for $3.2B. It's weird that one needs to script around these issues.

  That's a workaround of IFTTT limits not Nest

    But the use of IFTTT itself is a workaround of issues/limits with the Nest.

      Not really a limit so much as a feature that you wish it had.

If you're an iOS user, check out Skylark. Does up to five devices for geofencing. My partner and I have it, and when both of our devices are outside the fence, it goes Away. When one ones back in, it comes Home.
