"Allow bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option under Bluetooth advanced settings is missing

Hello! Until macOS Monterey, I hade disabled the option to wake the computer through Bluetooth devices, because I don't want my Magic Keyboard or Magic Mouse to wake my iMac every time I hit a key or move the mouse by mistake, I just want to press the power button behind my iMac if I want to wake it.


Now with Monterey, that option disappeared and every time I hit a key on the keyboard or move the mouse, my iMac wakes up! So annoying...


Anyone knows if this is a bug or intended? And if this is intended and the option won't be there anymore (that would be ridiculous!!) is there any way to disable wake on Bluetooth with the command line?

What about making some change to

>System Preferences>Keyboard>Keyboard>Setup Bluetooth Keyboard



Set up your Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, or Magic Trackpad

Use an Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad with Mac




See if your Bluetooth option comes back to life.
