Possible to not need to unlock phone if on home Wi-Fi?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and, when I'm home (and on my home Wi-Fi), I'd like to not need to unlock my phone each time.

Is this possible?
 
Didn't Google add Trusted Locations in the Smart Lock settings with Marshmallow for all phones? I could be mistaken, but thought that was something they added. If so, you can set your Home Location as a Trusted Location and your phone will stay unlocked at that Location.

I can't find that option on my phone.

Settings | Lock screen and security | Secure lock settings | Smart Lock

No option for a particular WiFi connection but check Trusted places and Trusted devices.

Apparently it's a little different in each phone's Settings menu, but I thought it might be in there somewhere on a Samsung. Thanks!

It should be available on the S7 as it's on my S6, definitely nice when in "home" locations.
I have mine set for home gps location, trusted voice and on person. Makes things much easier.
I'm also on 6.0.1
It could be a carrier changed option as well, I'm on Verizon and in the UK / other carrier, it's possible they omitted the option for security reasons.
