I live alone in a house, in Phoenix. I use pynest to set my Nest to "Away" when my iPhone leaves the network (I just ping it constantly from a script).
My power bill is a lot less than it was pre-Nest, and it requires no effort. Accessing the Nest when I'm about to head home is a nice benefit, too, to get the house cool before my iPhone is detected again.
(I have a sporadic schedule so the auto-away feature wouldn't work for me).
