As the default automatic presence or home / away function doesn’t really work for me (when I am 60 meters away it already sets my location to home which is kind of a problem if you are visiting some one close by) I like to use the Ubiquity app for home/away detection which checks your connection to your wifi network.

As the homey itself seems to set home / away I would like to disable that function. Where can I do that?

No it is the Homey App on your Mobile device,  
you find it under: More … Account.
