Nestled within the Google Home app's "Home & Away" menu, a new Vacation Mode feature may be gearing up to randomly control your smart home devices while you're away. At least that's the case if it's anything like the away and vacation modes on other smart home platforms like SmartThings.

Additionally, Google hasn't added anything (yet) to the Automation tab. This Vacation mode will lean heavily on these pre-created routines for your desired smart home devices. Most of the option's functionality is speculative as the publication states a majority of the details are still missing.
