He is usually a very good boy and goes to the patio but sometimes when he is alone, he pees in the livingroom or similar rooms, I have tried some sprays like "get off" that I bought in a pet's store.

He pees because of anxiety. When you are gone, he becomes fearful, and pees where he knows it is safe from the 'boogieman'.
Relieving his anxieties will help. Perhaps a Kong toy, filled with goodies will distract him from feeling so alone and vulnerable..Save it only for the times you are gone, and take it from him when you get home.
I turn the TV on, so my dogs won't hear all of the outdoor noises, and it helps relax them..

The Problem May Be That He Has Gone In There Before And Smells The Old Scent. Dogs Are Attracted To Their Old Markings And Will Continue Go Potty In That Area Since They Are Attracted To It, And Know That They Have Been Getting Away With It. I Have Recently Purchased A Dachsund And Have Been Reading Books And Magazines On The Breed. They Say The Best Way To Eliminate Old Scents Is With An Enzyme Cleaner That Will Get Rid Of Any Residual Odors. Have Your Carpets Cleaned. Then When You Do Take Him Outside To Go...Reward Him With Trainer Treats And Make A Huge Deal Out Of Every Elimination That He Has. Unfortunately If He Keeps It Up You May Have To Consider Purchasing A Kennel Or Installing A Small Doggie Door. One Other Thing To Consider....Run To Pet Smart And Pick Up A Book That Talks About And Explains The Breed. They Are Fun To Read And Teach You A Lot About Why He Acts The Way He Does And What The Breed Is All About. Good Luck....You Are Not Alone.

if you do not see the act there is no amount of punishment which will change the behavior, and very little which can truly be effective in changing the behavior. The best advise I can give you is to crate train your dog.
To do this you must gradually increase the time your dog spends in the crate and not give in to any whinning or crying your dog may do. start by restricting your dog supervised near the crate. many dogs will get used to seeing the crate in a few hours, some may take a few daysonce the dog start investigating the crate on its own (you can increase the likly hood with feeding it inside the crate, or putting food in side the crate or even a favorite toy), but once the dog goes in and out of the crate on its own try shutting the door but not locking it. once the dog is comfortable with this then try locking it (the dog may try to get out and raise a fuss if this is done to soon, or the dog has ever been forced to enter the cage. the key is to make the trainnig fun for the dog this is its room of the house, and as such many dogs will be reluctant to go potty in their room and may even start to go there when they need to be alone.
this is a process which could take a few days to a few weeks. for more information consult with your veterinarian for a referal to a local dog trainer or behavioralist.

Sprays are pretty much worthless, and seem to only sometimes help with chewing on objects. Your dog is a little older now so he is developing bad habits. He is used to your routine as well, like getting home at a certain time, times that you take him out, and feeding times. Scolding after the fact doesn't help as it is too late.
You might consider crate training and keep him inside while you are out. Dogs tend to keep their sleeping spaces clean. He won't like it at first. You can also paper train him using this method. Have patience. Hes 3 and becoming a little more difficult to train. Not impossible though. Good Luck:)

A product called "Kids and Pets" works awesome! Letting him out has to be the last thing you do when you leave and the first thing when you get home. Give him lots of praise when he goes out.
Don't punish him for peeing 2 hours before you got home. He doesn't even remember doing anything bad.

Live with it, it's a dog. If you are not with him 24/7 to let him out, it's gonna happen

Grab him, stick his nose in the piss, firmly say "NO", put him outside.

Kick him in the face when he does it. Hell, kick him right now.

Has he been neutered? That sometimes helps.
