Google Home’s new Home and Away with presence sensing feature released in the beginning of October and promises some pretty awesome tricks for home automation addicts like myself.

Last year, Google added food and drink options to Assistant, which allowed users to choose whether or not they would like to receive recipes on smart displays that were categorized as gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian.
