New iMac 2021 keeps waking up every minute or so during sleep (then going back to sleep). I have attempted to source the problem and have turned off wifi, bluetooth and unplugged all devices. Wake for network access is turned off. Still no luck. Am seeing similar problems online with M1 chip MacBook users. When checking in Terminal, Wake Reason is routinely : SMC.OutboxNotEmpty smc.70070000.
iMac 24″, macOS 11.4
Problem fixed via Apple Support. Had to restart in safe mode and solved the wake up issue.
