eGPU linkage loses sync after Mac goes to sleep #39

Thank you for this great utility, I've been a happy user for a long time. 😄

One minor issue that I started to encounter now that I have an eGPU, is that after the Mac goes to sleep for a significant time, like overnight, Brisync seems to lose connection the next morning. Adjusting the brightness does not trigger sync. Only quitting the app and restarting it syncs the brightness again. This doesn't happen when the monitor slept for a short time (a few minutes or hours).

I wonder whether that is because it takes a bit longer for the monitor to wake up from sleep through the eGPU?

eGPU: Razer Core X + AMD RX 5700 XT Monitor: DELL U2718Q (HDMI) @ 4K60

Happy to do any additional debugging if you need help with that - I'm a web developer myself.

I have similar problem with OWC dock. We will see if fix will resolve your problem too otherwise we will try to debug it on your machine somehow.

Thanks, will keep an eye out for a new version, or let me know if you want me to test a debug build.
