Wake a sleeping Mac
Why a second Mac
A sleeping Mac isn’t an offline Mac. Wake it from your laptop, your browser, or by asking your AI editor.
No other Rig device is awake on [Device]’s network to relay the wake signal. Waking a sleeping Mac needs a second machine on the same physical network to send the signal for it.
Leave a Rig device awake on that network to enable wake.
This state resolves immediately. It is never queued, never a spinner. One Mac alone in a house cannot be woken, and Rig tells you so instead of spinning.
