High Sierra wake problem (x79)

[kiu77]

In my case, sleep wake only works when I set power settings that I have mentioned earlier as after upgrade my power settings are messed up like yours and sleep and wake was not working so I have collected power settings from other members whose sleep and wake is working and then I have modified settings and then sleep and wake was working again.

In other words: You changed your pmset via adding the points you have been missing?
For my pmset this would mean that I add for example:
sudo pmset System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10
Is this right?
And if yes: What is the meaning of this points?

You can edit pmset values by using commands like this :
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset -a standby 0
just for your information hackintosh PC does not support Hibernate at all so it is better to disable it. also modify rest to which i have mentioned. or these :
AC Power:
System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 1
Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 0
Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10
Sleep on Power Button: Yes
Automatic Restart on Power Loss: No
Wake on LAN: No
AutoPowerOff Delay: 28800
AutoPowerOff Enabled: 0
Current Power Source: Yes
DarkWakeBackgroundTasks: 0
GPUSwitch: 2
Hibernate Mode: 0
PrioritizeNetworkReachabilityOverSleep: 0
Standby Delay: 10800
Standby Enabled: 0

There the problems start.
Your pmset list contains entrys which are not considered in the man page
https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/pmset.1.html

so I can't find out which commands to use.

Here a list of pmset commands matching (or not) your pmset list.
1. row = pmset command + my value (X = not set until now)
2. row = your pmset list entry + your value

sleep 45----------------------System Sleep Timer (Minutes): 1
disksleep 45------------------Disk Sleep Timer (Minutes): 0
displaysleep 20---------------Display Sleep Timer (Minutes): 10
powerbuttonsleepssystem x-Sleep on Power Button: Yes
autorestart 0-----------------Automatic Restart on Power Loss: No
womp 0-----------------------Wake on LAN: No
autopoweroffdelay x----------AutoPowerOff Delay: 28800
autopoweroff x---------------AutoPowerOff Enabled: 0
powersource 1---------------Current Power Source: Yes
-------------------------------DarkWakeBackgroundTasks: 0

hibernatemode 0------------Hibernate Mode: 0
-------------------------------PrioritizeNetworkReachabilityOverSleep: 0
standbydelay x--------------Standby Delay: 10800
standby x--------------------Standby Enabled: 0

So I miss the exact commands for
• Sleep on Power Button
• AutoPowerOff Delay
• AutoPowerOff Enabled
• DarkWakeBackgroundTasks
• GPUSwitch
• PrioritizeNetworkReachabilityOverSleep
• Standby Delay
• Standby Enabled

And: no matter what I set with pmset -a nothing iis saved.

Rather than post a thread, I thought I'd share my problem. I've been having a sleep/wake problem as well. I completely reinstalled my OS and everything, edited my clover config to fix the shutdown and wake. Everything worked fine. As soon as I turned on my iCloud photo library, now I'm having the same problem. As soon as my computer goes to sleep, it wakes within 2 seconds and the fans continue to run.

It has to do with the cloudd process that runs in the background. Is there anyway to stop it from waking my computer up? That would solve my problem I'm sure of it.

I'm using the Asrock Z97 Extreme6 on 10.13.2

Hey Let me clear one thing first your values are output of pmset -g while my values are from power option in system report if you check in your system then you will also find similar to mine.
Screen Shot 2017-12-19 at 8.57.28 AM.png
And here is output of pmset -g :
System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
standby 0
Sleep On Power Button 1
womp 0
autorestart 0
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
powernap 0
gpuswitch 2
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 0
sleep 1 (sleep prevented by UserEventAgent, iTunes, coreaudiod)
autopoweroffdelay 28800
hibernatemode 0
autopoweroff 0
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 10
standbydelay 10800
Just change all values then reboot and check again.

Hi everyone,

I have searched and found this thread and have a similar problem to @cobra872. I have done a fresh install of High Sierra and sleep/wake works perfectly. The system counts down to sleep after inactivity and its sleeps. I noticed that after signing into iCloud and dealing with the avalanche of passwords, shortly afterward the sleep wake process seems to loop. It goes to sleep and the shortly later wakes up including the monitor. It restarts the countdown of inactivity and it turns off the monitor but the fans stay on. This happens repeatedly making the whole sleep and energy saving feature useless. Why does this happen, it didn't do this before and how to prevent it? I currently have a clean install and no iCloud and sleep works but now missing all those features lol.

Thanks

Here is how pmset values should be look like View attachment 285376

You posted several power settings in several posts and they were inconsistent. Please provided your final power settings, both systems report and pmset -g.

Just found some important things from Apple and this would be the fix. (https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/pmset.1.html)

SETTINGS
displaysleep - display sleep timer; replaces 'dim' argument in 10.4 (value in minutes, or 0 to disable)
disksleep - disk spindown timer; replaces 'spindown' argument in 10.4 (value in minutes, or 0 to dis-able) disable)
able)
sleep - system sleep timer (value in minutes, or 0 to disable)
womp - wake on ethernet magic packet (value = 0/1)
ring - wake on modem ring (value = 0/1)
autorestart - automatic restart on power loss (value = 0/1)
lidwake - wake the machine when the laptop lid (or clamshell) is opened (value = 0/1)
acwake - wake the machine when power source (AC/battery) is changed (value = 0/1)
lessbright - slightly turn down display brightness when switching to this power source (value = 0/1)
halfdim - display sleep will use an intermediate half-brightness state between full brightness and
fully off (value = 0/1)
sms - use Sudden Motion Sensor to park disk heads on sudden changes in G force (value = 0/1)
hibernatemode - change hibernation mode. Please use caution. (value = integer)
hibernatefile - change hibernation image file location. Image may only be located on the root volume.
Please use caution. (value = path)
ttyskeepawake - prevent idle system sleep when any tty (e.g. remote login session) is 'active'. A tty
is 'inactive' only when its idle time exceeds the system sleep timer. (value = 0/1)
networkoversleep - this setting affects how OS X networking presents shared network services during
system sleep. This setting is not used by all platforms; changing its value is unsupported.
destroyfvkeyonstandby - Destroy File Vault Key when going to standby mode. By default File vault keys
are retained even when system goes to standby. If the keys are destroyed, user will be prompted to
enter the password while coming out of standby mode.(value: 1 - Destroy, 0 - Retain)
autopoweroff - Where supported, enabled per default as an implementation of Lot 6 to the European
Energy-related Products Directive. After sleeping for <autopoweroffdelay> minutes, the system will
write a hibernation image and go into a lower power chipset sleep. Wakeups from this state will take
longer than wakeups from regular sleep. The system will not auto power off if any external devices are
connected, if the system is on battery power, or if the system is bound to a network and wake for net-work network
work access is enabled.
autopoweroffdelay - delay before entering autopoweroff mode. (Value = integer, in minutes)

I have exactly the same problem as orgixmh. Has anyone found a working solution?
