Help Smart Lock not working correctly

Beddhist

I have a J5 (2016) running Android 6.0.1. When I set up a trusted location, where the phone should stay unlocked, it detects my current location and shows it on a map. I select this location.

Problem: the phone doesn't unlock at this location. I always have to enter my pin.

On-body detection works, I am not asked for the pin if I keep the phone on me.

Is this fixable without a factory reset?
 
I've never been able to get that to work, no matter what phone or version of Android. I gave up. It seems to be an on again/off again issue (from my experience anyway).
 
I have roughly 63,458,759 different trusted locations for my home, and I'm constantly adding more.

There is definitely something hookey going on in Trustedville.
