Trusted places not working

In the lock screen security option, I chose home as a trusted places so that screen does not lock when ever I am here. I chose the option while at my home, and have not left since I did so. And it is not working. Whenever screen turns off, I still have to enter my pattern to unlock.
 
Found my own solution. The adresss listed in Google Maps as my "home" is actually the physical address of the leasing office of my apartment building, not the physical location of my apartment. So I turned off my "home" trusted place and dropped a new pin at my actual location when in the apartment and turned that on. Now the trusted place works and my phone doesn't lock when I'm here.

So it works sporadically. Right now it's making me unlock every time even though I'm at home (my only trusted place)
Anyone else experiencing this?
 
This worked for me:

Delete the current (home) address and add it again, worked fine ever since.., I think this happens because of shutting off the GPS for some reason and when you re-enable it, this feature has issues with the original location...
