Disable Bluetooth

If you are on MacOS and are using HASSIO and can’t easily mount the boot partition I recommend using the SSH approach.
(I needed to do this in order to get my RaspBee 2 to work)

  1. Follow these steps to get an ssh acces to the host
    https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/operating-system/debugging/

  2. SSH onto the host (port 22222)

  3. Execute the following command to append the line into the config.txt
    echo $'\n# Disable Bluetooth\ndtoverlay=disable-bt\n' >> /mnt/boot/config.txt

  4. Verfiy that the line has been written
    cat /mnt/boot/config.txt

  5. Reboot the host
    reboot

Hope this helps somebody :slight_smile:
