Even a USB C to DisplayPort directly to it would not work.
CALDIGIT DOCKING STATION UTILITY FULL
The strange problem is that with the DisplayPort interface it worked the first time with CalDigit and then wouldn’t recognize even after multiple full reboots. The main thing I wanted to solve is that one of my PB278 is cranky and will not reliable be recognized. You only need this if your firmware is lower than 1.41 I’m not quite sure why they did this utility as it is yet another piece of system software and you can get the same thing with MacOS eject, so I don’t recommend it.

CALDIGIT DOCKING STATION UTILITY HOW TO
As with most Home Brew casks, once you install them, it is completely unclear how you run them, but the Docking Utility puts an application in the /Applications folder and I couldn’t figure o ut how to run the thunderbolt charging one.

So the first tip is that if you have a Thunderbolt 3 device, then you want to hook it to the “downstream” one. It is really confusing the way that USB C and Thunderbolt use the same connectors but are totally different electrically.
CALDIGIT DOCKING STATION UTILITY PRO
The CalDigit TS3 Plus is really pro grade stuff and comes in a big enclosure relatively speaking. I downloaded the support files from CalDigits website and expected to be up in business. It is the $220 CalDigit TS3 Plus at Amazon and is way more than the typical $30 USB C Dongle and $30 powered USB hub, but it was getting so frustrating having intermittent connections. Well, I finally tried a way more expensive docking station.
