Disable onboard Bluetooth

Could anyone point to how to disable the onboard bluetooh? The scattered instructions refer to modifying the /boot/config.txt file but there’s not such file on my system. Tried to mount different devices also did not yield any success.

Running:

  • Core2025.3.2
  • Supervisor2025.03.2
  • Operating System14.2
  • Frontend20250306.0

It’s a Raspberry Pi 4 with the standard installation as explained at Raspberry Pi - Home Assistant

I’ve accessing the shell using the terminal frontend from the Lovelace GUI interface.

By standard installation I assume you mean HAOS?

Have you looked at this thread?

Jesus, to go through all of this Debugging the Home Assistant Operating System | Home Assistant Developer Docs only to edit a simple config.txt file??

OK, leaving this one here in case anyone else has the same issue.

The easiest that I could find was to:

  • power down Home Assistant
  • remove SD card
  • plug the card into a Linux machine
  • edit /boot/config.txt file
  • put everything back.
    Note: Mac OS doesn’t recognise Ext4. I’ve used a virtual machine running Linux (Debian) for this.
