@sburke781 (Simon) posted a new topic, subject "Room Lighting Mode Transition Actions". It read:

   Can we have another option in Room Lighting... 
    
    I know, I know, happy to be told no, RL already does a tonne of stuff...
    
    I have what was once my motion lighting setup for each room now in RL child apps. This allows me to configure activation methods (motion, buttons, etc), de-activation options and define the responses (actions) to perform upon activation, importantly these actions are defined per mode. I can also transition the lights when the mode changes.
    
    The extra thing I would like to do is on this mode transition. I have switches for each room indicating whether motion activation is active, using this to drive the behaviour in RL. When I transition to Night mode I would like to re-enable motion activation across each room (separate RL instances). I don't necessarily want to activate the settings I have for other lights / switches in the Room to the state I have defined for Night mode, I want to have a discrete set of actions performed in the Room when I transition to that mode, e,g, turn a switch representing motion lighting on.
    
    A very niche request I know, and one I can and will for now perform in RM or something similar (or an additional RL instance using mode as the driver), but would be nice to have it tied up in a neat little package in RL.

    Realistically. Room Lights is too complex as it is, based on how many people become completely confused by relatively simple things. So adding yet more complexity is very unappealing just now for "A very niche request". That's not to say I won't consider it...

    Completely understandable, thanks Bruce
