Either at home, or sometimes, just home.

I'm home now. What time will you be home?

Hello!

In all the threads in this forum, at home is the correct answer and in home is the wrong answer.

Nevertheless, if you google "in the home", you will find many hits with that phrase.

When can we use in the home?

Here are some sources from the internet:

Yes, "in his own home" is fine, but "in home" is not okay.
