ed lid-awake off

Ends the requested Lid Awake session and restores normal lid-close sleep. stop is an alias.

ed lid-awake off [--json]
Option Type / values Default What it does
--json flag off Emit the full resulting state object.
ed lid-awake off
ed lid-awake stop
ed lid-awake off --json

The menu bar app must be running, even when the extension is already off. The command waits as long as 120 seconds for the engine and exits 0 only after the request was applied. Repeating it while already off is a successful no-op. The human answer is lid awake off; JSON is the full state object documented by status, with active and requestedActive false after a successful stop.

An app that does not answer exits 4. A helper or pmset failure exits 1 with the runtime error. This command does not disable the extension, change the battery threshold, or change restore-on-quit.
