In Ventura, Where is "Allow Bluetooth Devices to Wake this Computer"?

In System Settings>Bluetooth>Advanced, there used to be a checkbox for Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer." Where, if anywhere, has that setting moved in Ventura?


I can't wake up my MBP in clamshell mode when connected to an external display.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.0

It seems like Apple first removed this feature in Monterey last year. It causes issues in the opposite direction in that my bluetooth headphones wake my laptop everytime I turn them on, even if my laptop is closed in my backpack.


Here is a link to the same issue in Monterey, with no solution provided except to leave feedback that we want the feature back:

I have resorted to just turning my bluetooth off before putting my laptop away. Not great.


Good luck!
