  When I went on vacation I wanted to turn off my every day schedules and just arm the cameras.  To switch off automation, I clicked the deselect all on Arm Away,  Arm Home and Standby to turn off my routines and selected Arm Away and arm my cameras 24 hours everyday. 

 

The cameras still continued to work with my everyday routine schedules and I had to physically Arm Away again when the cameras switched modes according to my automations.

 

How do you turn off automations and routines to just Arm Away? I thought by deselecting all in Automations would do it but apparently that's not how it works!

If Arm Away is used in your schedule, then that is the correct process (though you only needed to deselect Arm Away). You do need to make sure you save the new settings.  You can also just go into the Arm Away mode, and disable the schedule automations there.  

 

Maybe try both of those methods again, and see if they are working properly now.
