V4, possible to turn off motion detection with Modes?

[cncb]

Before I order one, is it possible for the Home mode to turn off motion detection for the V4 cam? It looks like it is not possible with the new Duo Doorbell. Even though you can turn off notifications I don’t want it to constantly detect our motion when at home,

Is this a question about the options available at the top of the Monitoring tab? I don’t use that section of the app much and haven’t ever subscribed to Home Monitoring Service, but I wonder if what you’re asking about is what’s being discussed in this Wishlist topic:
