inconsistent screen unlock with face recognition and trusted wifi

[GoBigRed4]

I'm trying to use the trusted face and trusted location methods for keeping the phone unlocked but it's been very inconsistent (title of post is wrong - shouldn't say WiFi, should say location). I can sort of understand the face one not working well (although I've tried the "improve face recognition" option many times), but I don't understand why the location method won't work when I'm at home. Does it take a few seconds for the phone to recognize my location? If so, it seems pointless to use the trusted location method. I don't want to sit there staring at my phone waiting for it to recognize my location before finally recognizing it and then unlocking my phone.

Any ideas? Does anybody know if a tasker profile would do better?

Edit: I did find a good and relatively easy profile to use with tasker that seems to be working at home right now. I have it set to enable lock when I'm not connected to my home wifi, so I'll see what happens tomorrow when I leave for work. I'll report back tomorrow.

Here's the link for setting up the profile:
