Is there any way to modify a mode and save it under a new name? This would create a fourth mode under routines. Seems like the intent is to allow this, but I see no way to do it. I’m running latest app and firmware update.

Unfortunately no.

I don't think they were aiming at custom modes, but instead were wanting to provide a new mechanism with the automations.  Unfortunately Arlo hasn't documented how they work, and no one here has managed to really figure them out. 

 

Personally I suspect the lack of documentation is because the mechanism is flawed, and Arlo is figuring out what to do about that.  Just my guess though.

Thanks, I’ll wait and see if they decide to develop this.
