Raspbee + Bluetooth

Configuration Zigbee
1

I’m running hassio on a raspi3 on recently installed the Rasbee interface for zigbee. I didn’t understand up front that I would be disabling bluetooth. I’m only using bt for enhanced presence detection. However, since we are all on ios devices and running the Home Assistant app, I haven’t seen anything lacking because of no BT. So my questions are:

  1. Can I add some BT dongle to my rpi3 to get BT working again?
  2. In light of my setup, do I need BT for anything? (e.g. other than presence - which seems to be okay)?

Thanks in advance!
