When I connected Siri Remote to my Mac by BTT, my Mac lost good sleep by randomly or periodically receiving wake requests from the Siri Remote, maybe.
If I remove the Bluetooth pairing of the Siri Remote, my Mac sleeps well.
The only way to prevent the issue I came up with is to add a "Disconnect Bluetooth Device" action by a "Before Mac Goes To Sleep" trigger on BTT.
It could be a macOS issue and not related to BTT though, I wonder if anyone has the same trouble or any idea.
It turned out it just didn't work.
"Disconnect Bluetooth Device" for Siri Remote doesn't work. I don't know why.
It works well on other Bluetooth devices though.
It could work when I assign "Disable Bluetooth" for "Before Mac Goes To Sleep", but I want to use my Magic Keyboard via Bluetooth to wake up my Mac...
When I disconnect Siri Remote manually on the setting app, it immediately reconnects automatically!!
The only thing I can do with it is to unpair the Bluetooth pairing.
Hmm...
Mhh I had encountered this once with a faulty Siri Remote that kept doing phantom button presses - however these were also quite noticable when using the remote with the Apple TV.
Unfortunately the remote is very agressively auto-reconnecting, thus disconnecting won't help much
Ohhh.
I bought a used Siri Remote just only for my Mac with BTT.
So it could have some issues and I couldn't notice it without owning an Apple TV.
Although it works well on every button for like a shortcut keypad, I would have to buy another one for good sleep.
I'm happy with finding the fact that it should work well with a legit one!!
Thank you.
This is really just a guess though! I haven't seen the wakeups myself, but maybe wait to see whether others have encountered this as well
