I guess I have a bit more hardware to purchase.
You're welcome!
The j5Create dock model that I am using is the JCA379 (Best Buy # 5930600).
The original Pinephone dock did not work for me, FYI.
Hopefully someone will find a dock that works consistently. As I mentioned, every time I disconnect from the dock it is trial and error unplugging and plugging different cables in different order to get it to work again. Don't give up!
Also, a standard HDMI cable with full size connectors did not work on the PPP for me between the j5Create dock and my Acer 24" monitor. Only a full size HDMI connector on the j5Create dock to mini HDMI input on the NexDock 360, or the UPerfect portable monitor. Try different cables if you have them as well.
Good luck!
Only looking at HDMI USB-C hubs, I noticed a couple of things in the descriptions:
My current hub supports "laptops and macs"
I ordered another that also states it supports "Ipads"
The hub you have, and I also ordered one of those, supports "Display Alt mode"
I will be testing with full size HDMI, as that is all I have today, but if these hubs do not work with my current monitors, I will pick up something with mini HDMI as you suggest. And will test with multiple cables as well.
baby steps!
