Mapping the PLAY key

When a show is paused, after 3min I have kodi set to dim the screen (screensaver settings), now if using the kodi remote on iPhone, pressing play wakes the screen and resumes playback. Now I have a Logitech remote, and pressing the key buttom “once”, only wakes the screen, pressing a 2nd time, resumes playback.

So my question is, does anyone know which key mapping is different, cause its annoying having to press play twice. I use the kodi keymapping editor to map my keys as needed, and ive tried mapping the remote key to both the “play” and play/pause” mappings, but still have the same 2 key press behaviour.
