• The Google Home app could soon get a new Vacation Routine.
• The feature will appear alongside the Home and Away Routines with a calendar icon to help users set the dates for their vacation.

Google Homes presence sensing feature makes triggering Routines on your smart home devices incredibly easy. It uses your phones location and sensors in Google Home devices to determine whether youre home or not and automatically activates the Home or Away Household Routines. Google could soon add another Routine to the feature for when you go on a vacation.

Google Home users have been clamoring for a vacation mode for quite a while now, and it seems like Google may have finally listened. Weve spotted a new Vacation option in the Home and Away menu in version 3.23.1.3 of the app. As you can see in the following screenshots, this option has a calendar icon that will likely let you set the dates for your vacation to trigger the new routine.
