I run the command but my iMac still wakes up from my Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse.
Got a tip for us?

Monterey Bluetooth wake issue.
- Thread starter mrcj.

My 2018 Mac mini was not properly sleeping:it would not enter sleep mode by itself or would return in less than a minute if forced into sleep manually.
I'm using a Logitech Bluetooth MX anywhere 3 and a Keychron Bluetooth keyboard.
I've read the whole thread and noticed the comment on the Logitech Options as one possible source. After removing it, so far it seems to be working.
It seems that Logitech option is either waking up the system on its own or leaving the mouse too sensitive that any movement of the table causes the wakeup.

It's a nasty solution but i tied the BT toggle (turns off before system sleep, and ON after system wake) to bettertouchtool using apple script (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19752438/applescript-to-toggle-bluetooth)
Hopefully this works well enough to keep my system asleep. Without disabling "BT wake", BT will randomly wake it up periodically

Are you using any Logitech software or drivers? Getting rid of the Logitech mouse software solved my problems.
And on Monterey I'm no longer having mouse (Logitech MX Anywhere) + keyboard (Keychron) problems.

Thanks for the info. Also, I just installed Logi Options+ Beta (last night) as well, in the hopes it might fix something, and it seems to have fixed all my sleep wake issues on Monterey.

This seems to have started happening to me on 12.2 RC and the final public release. Battery completely dies overnight unless I either turn off the Magic Mouse and keyboard or remove them from my list of bluetooth devices. What a pain. Is there an actual fix for this?
Same for me - not had the problem in 12.1 and am now having the issue with a magic trackpad 2. I try and put my mac to sleep and it just keeps waking up.
If you do: pmset -g log | grep -i "wake from" you'll see a load of DarkWake bluetooth related things.
I've tested this with 3 different magic trackpads, in safe mode and it continues to happen. If you plug the magic trackpad in via usb the errant wake behaviour stops. Also, if you turn off bluetooth prior to putting to sleep, the wake behaviour stops.
So as a horrid hacky workaround:
Using a combination of Hammerspoon and blueutil (available on brew) I've automated turning bluetooth off at sleep and on at wake via the hs.caffeinate.watcher.systemWillSleep and hs.caffeinate.watcher.systemDidWake.
Obviously it would be much nicer if Apple fixes this bizarre bug but until then thought this approach might help others.

Yep the logs show it waking every 6 seconds from Bluetooth until the battery dies 🤦♂️
After the update to 12.2 today I'm getting wakes every 60 seconds on my Intel 16 MBP which seemingly doesn't let the notebook actually enter a sleep state, even for a minute.
This is what it looks like in terminal:
Sometimes I'll see this instead of the above every 5 minutes:
At this point I guess I'm forced to roll back to 12.1 with TM. Kinda wild that this made it to release.

Nice to see, that I'm not alone with the problem. Whenever I turn off my bluetooth, it actually goes to sleep. The funny thing is, that there isn't even a connection necessary: When I turn off all my bluetooth devices (even the ones that are not connected), my Mac will not go to sleep...
so annoying.
And in general I still have bluetooth troubles (M1 Air): My Trackpad never worked fluently, I only use it with the USB Connection. They really must be messing around with the bluetooth stuff right now...

You can try with
Code:
sudo defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.*.plist RemoteWakeEnabled -bool NO; sudo killall bluetoothdThanks for that idea, but tried it here and I'm still seeing the issue. The only thing that's kinda working is turning off bluetooth before I sleep my mac
Has anyone had success with the approach?
My 27" 2020 iMac behaves in a similar fashion, one sleep/wake cycle per a minute or so - this is crazy!
DarkWake from Normal Sleep [CDN] : due to EC.Bluetooth/Maintenance Using AC (Charge:0%) 45 secs
Anyone with a machine still in warranty call Apple support on this issue? If so, what did they say/do?
The first part sets RemoteWakeEnabled to NO, corresponding to disabling the “Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer” from the Advanced tab.
The second part terminates the bluetoothd process. It will restart by itself.
Until this finally gets fixed (hopefully) by Apple…is a temporary fix just manually turning off Bluetooth before closing and sleeping the machine? Then turning it back on when you’re working again? Just want to make sure that is a viable solution in the interim.
Yes that's the workaround I'm using. Irritating but better than having zero battery in the morning.
The same problem here and I am only using Apple magic mouse. Turning BT off indeed works but automation is always better - would you mind to share you Hammerspoon script? I have also achieved the same using sleepwatcher - all details in the next post.

In my case it happens when on battery or on AC power - and if I have external disk connected it starts/stops every few seconds. Not acceptable. And of course when on battery it kills it quick.
Turning BT manually off before going sleep "fixes" the problem but automation is always better in case like this.
Until apple fixes it here is my workaround - it switches BT off when going sleep and back on when waking up.
Using brew install sleepwatcher and blueutil:
Create .sleep and .wakeup scripts' files in your home folder:
When on ARM mac check before where blueutil tool is (which blueutil). I think brew moved default instalations directory from /usr to /opt
Make both files excecutable:
Restart sleepwatcher service:
Now when your computer goes sleep BT is turned off and restored when it wakes up.
When Apple fixes this issue you can simply remove .sleep and .wakeup files and/or uninstall sleepwatcher and/or blueutil:
and cleanup services to get rid off any residue:

Filed bug (FB9864403). This appears to be a regression in macOS. Very similar DarkWake issue after the 10.13.4 update (which Apple finally fixed in 10.14).
In my case, iMac Pro with Apple's BT keyboard and magic mouse. Three LaCie RAIDs connected to a single Thunderbolt 3 port. The iMac will sleep its display, the RAIDs begin to sleep, but then immediately wake, then sleep, wake, etc. indefinitely.
Workaround is to do a complete system shutdown overnight rather than sleeping. Thankfully the iMac Pro cold boot is very fast (about 30 to 40 seconds).
