imac 2020 keeps waking up every 10 mins!

hi.


I have a bit of a problem with my new iMac 2020 when its asleep it wakes up every 10 mins and I don't know why.


I have power nap enabled which I know will wake up the Mac, I disabled wake for network access but looking at the pmset -g log it shows this.

 disksleep            10


 ttyskeepawake        1


 displaysleep         10


 tcpkeepalive         1


 highstandbythreshold 50


 standbydelaylow      86400


incidentally I do not having any sharing items in the sharing preferences turned on.


I have done a pmset -g assertions and I got this.

Do you think my external time machine backup disk is causing the iMac to wake up every 10 mins?


Many thanks.
