Yale (non-Nest) Lock via Rule Machine

New user here (Wink transfer). I have this lock:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076WZT4VD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Purchased before I knew there was a Yale/Nest Lock and not looking to switch over now.

I can lock this no problem by going into HE's Dashboard but I want to lock it when I close up for the night. I have a scene named "Night Scene" so I created a Rule with Trigger (Night Turns On)-->Lock Front Door.

Currently, I see the following as I configure this:

Night Scene(off) is on FALSE
Front Door Lock locked FALSE

Believe this is WAD as Night Scene is off/door is unlocked. Why is there an (off) appended to Night Scene though? Because it turns everything off? The reason I ask is because I have tested this rule and no bueno. Does not lock the door.

Edit: I know I can do this with IFTTT but I am trying to move off cloud dependence as much as possible. Google --->HE is better than Google -->IFTTT--->HE (IMHO)

Can you post a screenshot of the rule?

According to this, I haven't set an Action so it's likely I messed up somewhere

That is exactly what you've done. You've confused the conditions with actions.
You need to click on the drop down to add an action and it's straight forward from there.
