Add Yale-Nest WiFi Lock to Google Home Mini Voice Commands

Hi - I have set up my Yale-Nest wifi lock, using the Nest Connect module to work with my Google Home - and it works well.

I can lock and unlock the lock from my Google Home app on my cell phone, but I can't get the lock to lock using voice commands on my Mini. (The Mini otherwise works OK with other devices such light switches and speakers.) When I say "Hey Google lock the Front Door" (FYI - Front Door is the name of the Yale-Nest lock). The Google lady pauses for a few seconds then says" Sorry, it looks like that device has not been set up yet. You can do that in Assistant settings."

But for the life of me I can't get the Assistant setting to accomplish that!!!

When I go to Google Assistant I can see the Front Door - and it says "The Front Door couldn't be unlocked" 

In Assistant when i tap on "Front Door' it takes me to a view that allows me to tap on the image "Locked" and of course when I tap it unlocks the door.

All very nice but how do I get my Google Mini to lock the door when I say "Hey Google - lock my Front Door"

BTW - I know that I will unable to UNLOCK the door for security reasons.

Thanks in advance my your help...

Hi Ultrafusion,
 

Gotcha — thanks for trying. Let’s sort this out — are your Nest x Yale Lock and Google Home Mini connected in the same home structure in the Google Home app?
 

Thanks,
