The documentation page indicates that '''addChildDevice()''' has four arguments.

* String namespace
* String typeName
* String deviceNetworkId
* Map properties = [:])

Examples, like [https://github.com/hubitat/HubitatPublic/blob/master/example-apps/averageIlluminance.groovy averageIlluminance.groovy] suggest a fifth argument is required. From that file, see the "null" argument in the following example:

addChildDevice("hubitat", "Virtual Illuminance Sensor", "AverageLux_${app.id}", '''null''', [label: thisName, name: thisName])

The '''location.getModes()''' function lacks documentation. The SmartThings [https://docs.smartthings.com/en/latest/ref-docs/location-ref.html#getmodes getModes()] documentation suggests a return type of '''List<Mode>'''. Hubitat does not appear to have a '''Mode''' type; so, the following generates an error:

<code>List<Mode> discoveredModes = location.getModes()</code>

Through experimentation, it does look like location.getModes() returns a list of <id(string), name(string)> pairs; so, code like the following does work:

<code>def discoveredModes = location.getModes()<br/>
paragraph "@0 id: ${discoveredModes[0].id} \tname: ${discoveredModes[0].name}"<br/>
paragraph "@1 id: ${discoveredModes[1].id} \tname: ${discoveredModes[1].name}"<br/>
paragraph "@2 id: ${discoveredModes[2].id} \tname: ${discoveredModes[2].name}"</code>
