2020 iMac 12.1 won't stay asleep, quickly wakes up and stays awake indefinitely
2020 27" iMac, recently upgraded to Monterrey 12.1. I have several media external hd enclosures and hubs connected via usb3.0 and thunderbolt3 that are individually powered most of the time. I'll press (apple) > sleep, and everything will spin down and the imac goes to sleep.
After a few minutes the imac wakes up, monitor turns on, and peripherals spin up—moments later it sleeps again. In the mornings when I wake, the computer is usually on, spun up, but the monitor is off.
I've disabled "wake for network access" and "enable power nap"—still no luck.
My old 2015 imac running High Sierra and almost all the same peripherals didn't have this issue. The newest device is an OWC Thunderbolt (3) Hub connected to some drives.
Any ideas?
