Description

Hi,

I am using dnd and am quite happy with it. But what I found out: when using an external monitor and keyboard/mouse setup I can use my laptop without dnd getting triggered. This is, because the "lid open"-event is never fired. Is it possible to watch and alert by the system waking through USB or Thunderbolt devices?
Cheers

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing how DoNotDisturb detects lid-open events and investigate system wake notifications from USB-C or Thunderbolt devices; done means those wake sources reliably trigger the intended alert without breaking existing lid detection.
