Brilliant! This statement made it sink in: “The Whole House app sets the color and level of any hue lights and/or the level of any dimmer lights for each of those modes – BUT none of those lights turn on when those modes are triggered.”

Brain was wrapped around a mode change triggering actual lighting changes, not just setting the scenes to be triggered by the motion/contact apps.
