Yes, definitely a bug as that toggle should be there. I'm trying to do the opposite: I do want that my Mac goes to sleep without manually turning off my Bluetooth devices, and it seems I have to resort to some script to manually disable Bluetooth before putting the machine to sleep.

Yep, same problem here. My computer won't go to sleep because my bluetooth mouse and keyboard keep waking it up (I am not touching them or anything).

Why remove the toggle, Apple? Like, of all the petty, ridiculous things to do.

Hi all,

Same here

I didn't have this option in all the Beta versions and I thought it would be there in the final version but no.

Currently having the same problem, apparently my Logitech MX Ergo keeps waking my M1 Mac mini when it's connected via BT. Never occurred with Big Sur.
 
I hope that this is a bug and not intended behaviour.

It is really sad that my Mac Pro 2013 now wakes up every time someone touches the table which seems to move the MX Vertical mouse!
 
I commented above, but just to give my information, the devices waking up my MacBook Pro (2020, intel) are my Logitech mx master 3 (Mac version) and mx keys (Mac version) keyboard. They are the only bluetooth devices I have connected (though my AirPods Pro and AirPods Max bluetooth profiles are on the computer, they are never really actually connected to my Mac).

Mac Pro 2013 are: MX Vertical, MX Keys for Mac and the original Apple Touchpad 2.
That has never been the case the last 15 years!

Just a little update. I had the "Logi Options" software installed with my devices. I uninstalled it and opted-in to the beta of "Logi Options+". I don't like using beta software, but SO FAR it restored proper functionality to my devices and has stopped the refusal to sleep. (FYI, the scrolling wheel would stop working randomly and only a computer restart would fix it).

I will keep you guys updated if this solution does not work. I still think its an Apple issue, but maybe not, it seems like a lot of the issues here are with Logitech.

I am using both Logi Options (for MX Vertical) and Logi Options+ (for MX Keys for Mac) since a long time without any problem.
The sleep problem is only an Apple problem, as the function for not letting Bluetooth devices wake up the Mac is killed!
My Mac Pro goes to sleep ans stays in sleep mode, but only a small movement of the MX Vertical wakes it up.
 
Now I know why my MacBook has been warm draining the battery when not in use. I had this problem until I disabled wake devices on Bluetooth. Now realizing that the option is missing is the reason why my MacBook is warm most of the time. I have to shut it down when not in use.
 
Turing off Bluetooth before putting the MacBook to sleep it says sleep. I only had 1% battery drain overnight. All I connect wireless is my mouse. Speakers I wire as Bluetooth is unreliable. I just turn on Bluetooth before using the mouse.

This is what I had been doing as well--turning off bluetooth before putting it to sleep. It worked, the Mac stayed asleep.
 
Did not work. Just woke up my laptop and its hot in the case. This is with Bluetooth off. My battery was 66% now 38%. It all started with Monterey. Never had this problem with Big Sur.
 
Sorry to hijack thread, but I just installled Mojave on my 2012 Pro, and it keeps waking up for goodness knows why. I've unchecked the 'Bluetooth wakeup' box, but dang it still keeps powering up at all time. (&^$# :(

Went to sleep with about 50% battery woke up to an dead battery icon. I should have never upgraded. Now I am going to have to shutdown the laptop when not in use.

Did all the usual boilerplate fixes which never work like resetting the SMC, PRAM or whatever and making sure the vents are clean. I wonder if I can replace this with an late 2020 M1 Macbook Air.

Thanks mate... that might help me find the issue.
The offending line seems to be "Darkwake from normal sleep [cdn] due to EC.SleepTime: Using AC"
I'll try the "pmset -b tcpkeepalive 0" fix.
...This will result in some critical feature like 'Find My Mac' not to function.
Gah! Thats what i love about the tech industry and macOS especially. Just pile on the new arcane features and don't worry about what you break. Hell - it's not as if the users actually pay for the OS anyway.
 
Hi! I just bought a new 14" Macbook Pro and I want to use it with an external display, while turning down the computer's display. When I do it, it goes to sleep and I can't wake it up by moving or pressing the mouse/keyboard. According to this treat, Do I have to wait for Apple to bring back the advanced bluetooth tab or is there another way to do it? Thanks!
 
Having the same issue and extremely annoyed by it. According to this support ticket, you can disable wake on Bluetooth from the command line with the command
Code: 
/usr/bin/defaults write /Users/`whoami`/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.Bluetooth.`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | /usr/bin/grep "Hardware UUID" | /usr/bin/cut -c22-57`.plist RemoteWakeEnabled 0
Replace the 0 with a 1 if you want to enable it. I don't know if this still works for Monterey though. Will let you know.

Update: I'm not sure if it was this or installing Logi Options+ (I did both at the same time), but after running this command to enable wake on bluetooth, I can now bring my Macbook out of sleep mode with my bluetooth mouse.

If you see my post above, I installed Logi Options+, the new beta software and it fixed all of my problems and I can wake my Macbook with my bluetooth mouse as well.
 
I have the same issue. Until 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...
