Re: Can Sony DB Remote or Wiimote Wake From Sleep

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Yes, both can wake your Mac as long as they have an active connection
to your Mac at the time the Mac went to sleep. Which is likely to not
always be the case, because battery time of Bluetooth remotes is
limited.

Therefore, I wouldn't recommend a Bluetooth remote if the only purpose
you want to buy them for is to wake your Mac from sleep. A proprietary
solution like the Keyspan RF Remote (which - to the system - is
nothing but a USB keyboard) has much longer battery life, because it
doesn't need to spend any power on keeping a high-level (Bluetooth
protocol) connection alive.

Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
