My Environment

  • MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014) and OS: 10.13.6.

  • pmset:

    $ pmset -g
    System-wide power settings:
    Currently in use:

  • Power unplugged. Thus on Battery.

  • Energy Saver UI:

enter image description here

enter image description here

  • My script:
$ cat sleep-detector.sh 
while true;
do
    echo `date` " -------- not sleep yet"
    tput bel
    sleep 2s
done

The Problem

  • Unplug the power cable

  • Run the script in terminal: sleep-detector.sh

  • Close the lid. Put it to backbag. Leave office, Drive and go home.

  • After finishing my dinner. Open the lid and check the script's output:

$ sleep-detector.sh

  • I found out the weird thing happened during the time 22:17:06 to 22:17:35. This is very crazy.

  • Then I checked my log show. It has something like:

The above is just part of the log. If anyone want to see all, I can paste it to pastebin.

[Edited]

Thank @@Ashley very much to tell me the command pmset -g log, this is the interesting part from this log command:

$ ioreg -l | grep IOPlatformFeatureDefaults
    | | |   "IOPlatformFeatureDefaults" = {"DNDWhileDisplaySleeps"=Yes,"TCPKeepAliveDuringSleep"=No,"NotificationWake"=No}

I have done everything I can do to prevent the system to wake up by itself. I have disabled wake for wiki access and I have disabled power nap completely. This is just CRAZY!!! The system should never never be awake when the lid remains closed and I am in travel. This is just very dangerous and unsafe to me. I have fight against the stupid MacOS for two days and don't figure out how to make it just remain sleep when it should and when the lid is closed.

PS:

For those who are interesting, the following links are what I found by googling so far, but no one confirm there is a solution in High Sierra yet:

link1, link2, link3, link4, link5, link6, link7

    pmset can show a different log (or perhaps a subset of log show output, I'm not sure) which can be helpful. Try pmset -g log | grep -i "wake from".

  • @Ashley Thank you very much for the command. I never knew this before. I found the line 2018-11-28 22:17:07 +0800 DarkWake DarkWake from Deep Idle [CDN] due to EC.SleepTimer/SleepTimer: Using BATT (Charge:100%) 0 secs so what does it mean? Why is awake? (Btw I also notice that this log time is 22:17:07 which is not the first log message when it wakes up compared to log show, the first log msg is at 22:17:06.766319. Maybe I can just ignore the time difference.)

  • @Ashley btw, by checking the pmset -g log | vim - again. I found three log msgs before this line: 22:17:06 Kernel Client Acks Delays to Sleep notifications: [powerd is slow] [AppleThunderboltNHIType2 driver is slow(msg: WillChangeState to 2)] [RP03 driver is slow(msg: SetState to 0)] 22:17:06 Assertions PID 168(mDNSResponder) Created MaintenanceWake "mDNSResponder:maintenance" 00:00:00 [System: DeclUser kDisp] 22:17:07 Assertions PID 168(mDNSResponder) Released MaintenanceWake "mDNSResponder:maintenance" 00:00:00 [System: PrevIdle DeclUser kDisp]

  • @Ashley I have edited and put the interesting section from the pmset -g log to the question body. so you can take a look from the question body instead of comments with a better formatting. Thanks a lot.

Un-check System Pref, Bluetooth Advanced Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer !

  • Thanks a lot for the tip. Even if I don't think that is the cause because my bluetooth is off all the time, but I still unchecked this option. I will disable everything which may cause the laptop to wake. Btw I have added the log msg from pmset -g log to the question body. Some interesting part is MaintenanceWake "mDNSResponder:maintenance" and DarkWake from Deep Idle [CDN] due to EC.SleepTimer/SleepTimer. I am googling this right now.

  • Did you try to disconnect or turn off wifi in Network settings ? Then create a new Location name delete the Blooththooth Pan and Thunderbolt options, then click on the Gear icon and choose manage virtual interfaces to OFF, then Shut Down? Will it wake even if you do that?
