It’s definitely in consideration! Eventually we’d like to offer support for every iMac :)

Apple did not run this wire down the iMac G4’s neck. As there was never a situation where they would need to know if the display was not receiving a video signal. As the computer itself handled all the sleep/wake protocols.

Juicy Crumb Systems @juicy-crumb.bsky.social · Feb 27

The HDMI standard utilizes the HPD pin in order to detect an incoming device signal.
However as devices treat the HPD pin differently, most LCD panels have their own “sleep wake” signal which can tell the control board when the video signal drops out.

Juicy Crumb Systems @juicy-crumb.bsky.social · Feb 26

Fan fact though!
Sleep wake does still work with most PC’s, as they use HDMI’s built in HPD pin to send a sleep signal to the display. Unfortunately on most Mac’s this signal is always active. Even when the Mac is asleep. Meaning the DockLite cannot see the Mac has gone to sleep.
