Changing Awesome WM's screens

I have laptop and external display on docking station and I would like to switch to the external screen automatically when I connect to the docking station.

What have I done
I made simple udev rule which switches the display like this when I connect the docking station:

xrandr --output HDMI3 --auto --primary --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --off

Problem with my solution
Awesome forgets the window positions and runs startup commands again. Probably restarts and forgets all temporary configs?

What I want
Awesome to smoothly switch between displays.
