Google Home App not allowing a basic voice command automation starter "I'm going out" with action "turn on back door camera"

Steps:  add automation>household routines>add>household>add starter>when I say hey Google "I'm going out">add starter>add action>adjust home devices>turn on back door camera (tick box)>add action>error message:invalid starter and action combination>learn more>goes to Google help screen https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/7672035?visit_id=638431353246485209-2931465202&p=starter...>no help cos basically states that such a simple basic routine is possible but it is not.

funnily enough the household routine does actually save even though I get the above error but when I try to run it either by voice command or by tapping the play button Google assistant app and Google hub max both say "I don't understand" 

Google home app and Google Assistant is on my iPhone but I have a Google hub max.  The camera is Google nest camera battery.
