Away from home should be an easy problem to solve assuming Nest can talk to your phone(which is almost 100% true in real life). IN my experience there are several easy heuristics that can achieve ~ 90% precision and recall in home detection, like are you connected to a wifi or even combining it with some IMU data to be more confident.

Everything should be an easy problem to solve yet it somehow stays a problem. For me it's quite binary: the problem is solved yes/no. And if the easy problem is still not solved, it's still not solved, period.
