Bluetooth devices will not wake Macbook up

When I close my Macbook Pro and it goes to sleep, my Apple mouse or Logitech Bluetooth keyboard will not wake it up, I have to open the lid. I'm also using a Lenovo ThinkVision monitor. The Macbook is always plugged into the power adapter.


"Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" is turned ON


Macbook Pro (13-inch, 2019)

16 B 2133 MHz LPDDR3

Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:

If you can't enter you password correctly, then reset your SMC and your NVRAM. Sometimes changes (i.e. updates) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for Bluetooth) become corrupted, technically. So, reset both on your Mac. So, reset your SMC and reset your NVRAM. Then, try connecting once more. It might take three tries. to fix this. So, be certain you have the time to do so.
