The built-in "on-demand activation" is quite good. Can set it to specific SSIDs (white or blacklist) or cellular. I've it on for everything except my home SSID.

Edit: I'm talking about the iOS version, not sure what platform you're using.

No such luck on Android, you need to use tasker or similar. Really a nuisance but not a deal breaker. It would be dreamy to set up the client to not use specific SSIDs.
I want to point out that the intents on the official Wireguard Android app are not exposed, so I, not being rooted, can't use Tasker to automate it.

However, there are other Android apps that implement Wireguard that do expose their intents. I use Viscerion with Tasker quite happily.

What iOS client are you using? I am using the Wireguard one (the the twisty snake/dragon) and don't see any of these options. Is this stuff that is done in the config files? Sorry, all new to me.
It's in there! Scroll down to the "On-demand activation" section of the settings for your connection
There it is! Thank you!
Yep, this is what I do. It just doesn't connect when I'm connected to my home WiFi
