I just got the Galaxy S8 Plus and there is an option to unlock to home screen using home button.
"a feature that skips the lock screen after a hard press on the home button.
Settings > Display > Navigation bar. Enable Unlock with Home button."

I'd like to set Tasker to enable this feature when connected to WiFi Network "SSID", and disable when disconnected. I've setup up the State, but I can't figure out the path for the task. Does anyone have some ideas?

I'm a little confused. What do you have so far? What does "path for the task" mean?

You would have a project structured like ...

Profile: Demo (683)
State: Wifi Connected [ SSID:MySSID MAC:* IP:* ]
Enter: Anon (684)
A1: Flash [ Text:Connected Long:On ]
Exit: Anon (685)
A1: Flash [ Text:Not Connected Long:On ]

Sry for late reply and for wrong verbiage. I guess by "path" Im asking what "Action Category" do I use to get to "Enable Unlock with Home Button" feature/setting. I've tried searching the "Settings Action" sub category, but can't seem to find it anywhere.

I used Tasker for over a year before I found out about this one ...

After you hit the plus sign
Tap Filter at the bottom of the display
Start typing the name of the Action you want
A bunch will appear that have the character string
Tap the one you want

... yes ... over a year.

Definitely taught me something new. Lol I never noticed that. Thanks man.
I guess the feature/setting can't be used through tasker. The filter didn't find anything for "Unlock..." Thanks though. You really did help me learn something valuable.
