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
