If I'm not at home I would like the MBP to lock the screen after 15 mins, but not while I'm home. So if my home-wifi isn't detected I would like the "lock screen" to be enabled. Is this possible?

Regards Henning
 
Thanks.

But that will prevent the screen for turning off at home aswell?

And I am searching for something that use the wifi's :) More interested in that aspect of it.

Yes, when the Caffeine icon is clicked on the Menu Bar, it overrides screen saver and sleep settings. Click it again to turn it off. You can still manually activate your screen saver with Caffeine activated. Screen savers are based on time, not the absence or presence of a particular WiFi network.
 
I know that screensavers are based on time, but that doesn't fit my needs. So I'm searching for an alternative.

But I appreciate your input :)
