When I leave my house my Foyer Light turns on great. How do I get it to turn OFF when I return home?
Add else if mode is home, Off: Foyer Light

Why do you have an action in your rule that sets the mode to away if the mode changes to anything other than away? That's what your actions are doing right now. Presumably, that's not what you want. If you can explain what you think that's doing, someone should be able to help correct the source of this misunderstanding. Coupled with reading the documentation, I think that will help you write better rules in the future.
As suggested above, I think you might have meant "ELSE-IF Mode is Home" or something similar instead of your "ELSE." What, exactly, this needs to look like for you depends on your hub's mode names and how/when they change. So, you'd also need to look at/know -- or share here -- how you have that set up.
I think you may have better luck with Basic Rule or Visual Rule Builder, either of which can handle this kind of automation with ease. Is there a reason you're looking to do Rule Machine for this? Is there a specific other type of action you'd like to add that won't work in one of these apps? Rule Machine is quite complicated for this (and in general -- and you will truly need to read the docs and look at more examples to grasp it, so I don't keep asking for no reason 
).
