Disabling lock screen when home - General Questions and Answers

Hi, just upgraded to Lollipop and like the way you can set it to disable the lock screen pin when a Bluetooth device is connected but is there anyway you can do the same with a wifi connection?
Basically I don't want to have to put in a pin when the device is connected to my home wifi.

[Q] Disable Mandatory Screen Lock when connecting to 802.1x

My work has an 802.1x all over campus, but to connect to it, I have to enable a screen lock pattern/pin. "You must set a lock screen PIN or password before you can use credential storage."
I could connect phone with my iPhone, and even my Galaxy Tab 8.9 connects fine. But for the One X, I need this dumb thing
There seem to be ways to disable this on phones like the Galaxy Nexus, but our phones don't seem to have this option. Is there a hack anywhere I can use to get rid of this? It doesn't seem to be a policy set on work's side, just ICS.
I just set a PIN, input my login information, make sure it's connecting okay, then go remove the PIN.

[Q] Lolipop smart unlock. BT does not stay connected to PC/iMac. App to fix?

I used to use unlock with wifi/skiplock to turn off lock at home, but it is not supported under lolipop.
Smart Unlock in lolipop only give you GPS unlock or BT unlock, no wifi. GPS doenst work if you live in a condo, so BT it is.
Problem is I dont want to buy a speaker for home, and leave it on just to use it as an unlock dongle. I have an iMac and a PC with a BT dongle. Both are on 24/7 at home. Doest anyone know of any app, I could use which would force the PC or iMac to reconnect to the phone, to trigger and maintain unlock while the phone is home.
By default if you connect with BT to pc or iMac there is no hands free type of profile that would maintain connection. All the file transfer profiles, autodisconnect if there is no file transfer. I got BT Auto Connect for android, and it works, problem is it tried to connect as last connected profile, which is file transfer. This makes the computer close connection when there is no file to be sent, and of course the app reconnect. Becomes a loop, and eats battery like crazy. Anyone know of an app that would spoof a handsfree or speaker profile on the PC or iMac to connect to the phone? This will maintain connection, and not kill batterylife.

Any way to auto connect bluetooth and bypass 6.0.1 popup notification?

On marshmallow, when I quick toggle on bluetooth, a popup notification appears
"Your device... is currently visible to nearby devices"
Then it lists all my paired devices and I have to click one (regardless of what's in range)
Is there a setting or exposed module to bypass this screen and have bluetooth simply autoconnect to the first device in range?
If my bluetooth is already on, and I enter + turn on my car, bluetooth will connect without this stupid screen.

Android 9 not connecting to WiFi when screen is locked

Hello,
I have a stock Motorola Z3 Play running on Pie and there's one issue I can't solve.
When I get back home it won't connect to my WiFi network unless I unlock the screen. I don't know if it's a bug or a feature. I never had this issue on any of my previous phones, my wife has a Galaxy Xcover 4 running on 7.0 and it connects even before she enters the house.
I have presence detection based on wireless clients list on my smart home controller and having to unlock the phone manually each time I get back just kills the idea.
Is there any option I could miss in the settings that could force such behavior?
