Next/Yale lock icon not showing on Nest app

HI all -

So I installed a Nest/Yale lock on my condo.  Locking/Unlocking works manually, and when I punch in my code on the keypad.  I did pair up the nest app (Iphone) through the Connect dongle.  

the howto video explains there's a lock icon on the nest app, that you press+hold for a bit.  

I don't see any such "lock icon" on my app.

One other detail:  I don't have Wifi set up yet for the home.  Is that a required component for the Nest App to fully work?

Thanks, Charles.

Yes, you must have WiFi.

I think I see a problem with just using Wifi:  what if the lock is put into a new place, and there's no wifi yet?  I would have thought the app would work through BT first.

My wifi case is a little different (for now):  it's my phone's hotspot AP.

Hi Brad -

 
   I wouldn't mind talking to a high-level tech directly about the issue I'm seeing.  I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be a use-case where Wifi is not part of the equation (yet, or if ever Wifi conks out at home).
 
Thanks, Charles
