I have triggers set up if specific devices are connected to switch presets but i was wondering if there was a way for it to check if devices are connected when the lid opens?

You can run a script on lid open that would check your connected devices. Easiest would probably with a "if script returns true" condition:

Here is an example script that should work if you provide the appropriate vendorid and productid in hex:

async function checkDevice() {
    let vendorID = "0x123";
	let productID = "0x124";

    let script = `/usr/sbin/ioreg -p IOUSB -l | awk '/idVendor/{v=$3}/idProduct/{p=$3; if(v=="${vendorID}" && p=="${productID}") found=1} END{exit !found}'`;
	
	let result = await runShellScript({script});
	if(result == 1){
	   return true;
	} else {
		return false;
	}

}
