Hi, I have an iMac19,2, Big Sur 11.5.2.
I followed all the Dortania guide for opencore, I have OPENCORE 0.7.3.
Also the steps for the sleep fix.
But when it goes to sleep, the fans and LEDs continue to be on.
I also noticed, on my return, that it went from off to fans on, always with the monitor off.
I attach relative log:

Any ideas?

How do you have your systemwide power settings configured?

If you enter this command in to a Terminal window, sudo pmset -g

What result do you see?

Post a screenshot like the example below, so we can see what you are currently using:

You may need to change the systemwide power settings so your system can sleep as you want it to. These are the Terminal commands I use when setting my systemwide power settings, my system sleeps with the fans etc. stopped:

Disable Hibernation
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage

Disable other hibernation options
sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset powernap 0
sudo pmset proximitywake 0

You may find that using hibernate mode 3, 25 or 29 work better with your system, or matches the way you want your system to sleep. It is easy to try each option, just replace ‘hibernatemode 0’ with the number for the alternative mode you wish to try.
 
Did you fix USB?

Yes, but I just ran the command for the proximitywake that was 1, now 0 as you can see. I didn't want to change other setting, for example autopoweroff, because I don't see them and I don't know its current status in order to backup.

System-wide power settings:
Currently in use:
standby 1
Sleep On Power Button 1
womp 0
autorestart 0
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage
proximitywake 0
powernap 0
networkoversleep 0
disksleep 10
standbydelayhigh 86400
sleep 10
hibernatemode 3
ttyskeepawake 1
displaysleep 10
highstandbythreshold 50
standbydelaylow 86400

Now, setting hibernatemode with 0 stops the fans. But there is no way to wake up. Pressing the case power button turned it off.

Have a look at the Hackintool > Power tab to see what that shows.

Use the sudo pmset -a standby 0 command to change Standby from 1 to 0
Use the sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0 command to set it to 0, if Hackintool shows it is set to 1.

You might also want to set ttyskeepawake to 0 using this command - sudo pmset ttyskeepawake 0

I made

sudo pmset -a standby 0
sudo pmset -a autopoweroff 0
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm -r /var/vm/sleepimage
sudo mkdir /var/vm/sleepimage

and this is the result
2021-08-29 09:49:30 +0200 Sleep Entering Sleep state due to 'Software Sleep pid=154': Using AC (Charge:0%) 13 secs
2021-08-29 09:49:43 +0200 DarkWake DarkWake from Normal Sleep [CDN] : due to XDCI/ Using AC (Charge:0%) 5 secs
2021-08-29 09:49:48 +0200 Wake DarkWake to FullWake from Normal Sleep [CDNVA] : due to UserActivity Assertion Using AC (Charge:0%)

It goes in a state that turns off the fan and the lights, then - very soon - it goes automatically to a state with fan and lights are turned on.

Please note that I didn't made the USB optimization for my machine already.
