I don't code at home as a hobby, or because I want to code. I code at home because I want the computer to do something. When I want that enough, then I code at home. When I don't want it enough, then there's plenty of other things to do at home. So that's my answer to the motivation question - when I want the result enough, then I have motivation to code at home.

I don't code at home to hone my skills. I have, essentially, a full-time job honing my skills. I don't have to do it some more on the side.

But there are exceptions to that. My wife occasionally asks me "What do you need to learn now for the next five years of your career?" For that kind of thing, yes, I'll take some of my own time if I have to (though I've been fortunate enough to often have my employer pay for me learning it). But I'm not going to grind leetcode in my home time just in case I need it in an interview somewhere down the road.
