wake up mac book air with external keyboard

I have 2020 M1 mac book air. I use a plugable usb-c dock to connect to an external display and a logitech wireless keyboard+mouse combo. I primarily just use the external monitor (it is 32" compared to the 13" air) and close the clam shell. Every time the mac goes to sleep, I have to physically open the mac and use its keyboard and trackpad. The usb keyboard and mouse don't seem to work unless I disconnect the dock from the thunderbolt port and reconnect it. Is there a work around for this where I can get the external keyboard and mouse to work without removing and reconnecting the dock?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

the first steps would be that you only have what you need plugged into the computer and for logitech products you have to install a driver.

For really everyone I use a logitech mx Master 3 and for that you need a driver so that it really works.

To do this, you would first have to post the Logitech mouse serial number and that of the wireless keyboard then I can help you.

Hi, I have a Logitech MK270 keyboard mouse combo, which I use for my windows machine. The S/N for the keyboard is - 2013SY02QMM8. The S/N for the mouse - 2012L20CRHE8. I also noticed that this issue primarily occurs when I use karabiner elements for keyboard customization. When that app is turned off, the keyboard and mouse are working when I wake up my mac from sleep, however, I have to open the clamshell to wake up the mac from sleep and am not able to use my keyboard/mouse to wake it up.
