Q: Apple Watch won't unlock Mac when using a Thunderbolt Dock (for 2 more monitors)

Was working remote (not home) yesterday and my Apple Watch began unlocking my MacBook Pro (2015) flawlessly.  When home, it was not.  At home, I have a thunderbolt dock from Startech that lets me add 2 monitors in addition to the Mac screen.   When the thunderbolt dock is connected - Apple Watch does not unlock Mac.   When disconnected it does.

 

Not sure why this would be intended behavior or why it would be this way.   A bug?

Apple Watch, macOS Sierra (10.12)
