Ah, yes, you are correct!
Then I don't know how to connect it without a USB-C split PD cable (which I don't have).
My setup is: a Mac Mini (with USB-C and USB3/2 ports) that I need to use as a host, and a PI as a device.
If I connect the upstream port to the host (Mac Mini), then I only have the USB-C PD connector on the hub, which I can connect to the Pi. But then, I can't connect the PSU to power the Pi (the USB-C on the Mac Mini doesn't provide the required power for the Pi), and even if the power were to be ok, the USB-C at the Pi will be in USB-C mode. If I use a Pi USB-C -> USB-2 plug -> USB-2/3 on the hub and USB-C upstream connected to the Mac Mini USB-C, the power via USB-C -> USB-2/3 will not power the Pi (correct?).
So, how to connect PI to the host (macMini with USB-C or USB-A ports) and also power the PI with the external PSU and set PI's USB-C to USB2 mode?
