Look into the Skylark app (cost something minimal like $4). Works nice with my Nest. Allows you to Geofence so it will auto-away when you actually leave/return. My schedule is not 100% routine but this ensures I am not excessively heating/cooling the house when we are not home (both my wife and I have it installed on our phones so it knows if just one person is home.)
