Wake On LAN not working after a few minutes of screenOff #63

I've been able to get everything working as expected at first glance. I have an M3 MBP Max on macOS 15.1.1 connected to a 42C4, and if I hit cmd-ctrl-Q > Esc, it goes to sleep, along with my second display. I can wake it up successfully afterward.

However, if I let it sleep for more than a few minutes, only the second display wakes up. From what I've seen elsewhere, it's because the network connections on the TV fall off (I'm using an Ethernet connection) and someone else from another forum post mentioned that getting the WOL to work at this point requires addressing the MAC address with a broadcast on x.x.x.255.

I'm not sure how best to implement that into this script--should I update the lgtv_init.lua to add the code from your previous iteration:
local mac_address = "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff"

Or will this not work as expected? I recalled seeing there was a change back to the IP in a previous iteration as well, I'm assuming it was because there was a larger issue without using IP.
