Prefer home WiFi over tethering WiFi

I have 2 WiFi sources:

Home WiFi, unlimited.

Mobile Broadband WiFi, limited. I want to use it only when there is no other choice.

How to set NetworkManager to switch from Mobile WiFi as soon as Home WiFi is within reach?

Deactivating Mobile Broadband WiFi as soon as I enter home is not a good solution, as it would take too much time, I go in and out very often.

A fork of NetworkManager could be a solution, even if it involves hard-coding.

This is now available in Gnome Network Manager (nm-connection-editor) in the General section. Give the connection priority for auto-activation a higher value on your preferred network.
