Q: Homekit Automation
In the new Home app on iOS10 you can share your Home settings with other people. Can you share the automations as well? For example I don't want all the lights to turn off when I leave but my family is still home? Can there presence(via there iPhones) make sure the lights don't go off.
When I look at there Home app on there device the automation tab isn't there.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

No, you can’t share automations. I believe the thinking behind this is that automations are personal and unique to each user and device so they are not an appropriate thing share.
As for whether presence info is available to prevent certain automations from running when other people are still home. It appears that is not available yet.
