What is Reddit's opinion of Coming Home?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I completely disabled auto-away and now use Skylark on iOS - it does exactly what you're looking for. There's no Android version, but it looks like Coming Home might do the trick.

I use the Coming Home app on Android to set my Nest to Home if I am within a certain radius of my home. There are similar apps for Apple I think.

Obviously you'll have to set the area to a size that is as large in travel time as it takes for your house to warm up to where you want it to be...

If you are referring to @home for Nest on Android, I used that app for months and it did nothing. I now use Coming Home and it works great!

Coming Home for Android works the same as Skylark for iOS.

I used it for about a week, but then stopped. It causes the thermostat to trigger to "Away" rather than "Auto-Away." When it uses "Away" mode, it completely ignores your schedule settings.

I don't see a way to do geo-fencing the best I see is a set temp to X on my way home. Does not appear to work if you are already at home.

THis app does exactly what I was thinking.

>Does anyone else have issues with Nest's Home/Away Assist which uses your phone not working?

>I have it setup to use my phone properly, and I can see in the settings that the App has indeed requested my location. However, it never actually toggles the Nest to Away. I contacted support about a month ago for this and they told me to reset the learning on the Nest. I did this but its been a month and still nothing.

>IFTTT integration also does nothing for me, I have connected my account but no recipe ever takes any action.

IFTTT doesn't support home/away mode as an action, it only supports it as a trigger. The only Nest effects IFTTT supports are: Set temp, set temp range, and turn on fan for 15 minutes.

If you're looking for geofenced away mode on Android, here's what I use:
