Why isn't my phone unlocking when I am in a trusted location (home)?

I have enabled trusted locations unlocking on my Samsung s6. Added my home to the list. Now I am home and my GPS is on, but when my phone locks due to inactivity it does not unlock without a password. The problem seems to be intermittent. GPS is picking up my location (map shows I am at home). What could be happening?
 
How does this feature work? Is it strictly based on GPS OR does it also depend on your WiFi network? Sometimes my phone will connect to the wrong WiFi network in my home. Instead of mine it connects to an open WiFi from Xfinity that is open to all.
 
It recognises familiar Bluetooth connections and remains unlocked while it senses the familiar network is nearby. It also uses google maps if you program an address in, it will stay unlocked if you stay within 80 metres of the location. On body is another way, while the device senses your body, it remains unlocked...
