read away state #18

How can I get the current away state? I know how to change it but no clue how to read it. The away state is not listed in the output of the request node.

This is the function node I use to process the message produced by the Nest "structures" query. I use it to send an update to mqtt, which is looks like this (indicating "away"): HomeStatus = {"Home_State":false}

Updated to enclose code in code block.
