Is anyone else having issues with smart lock? I have my phone set to unlock with my fingerprints which works perfect, and I also have smart lock set to keep my phone unlocked at home. The problem is at least half of the time when I am at home I have to use my fingerprints to unlock my phone.

Anyone else having this issue?

It's Smart Lock issue itself, not device specific. It literally never worked on my HTC 10, was spotty on HTC U11 and Tab S3, and is still spotty on S10+.
Google attempted to fix location problem in SL couple times already (they even disabled Trusted Places for short time) but to no avail.
