[1] Disabling the BT adapter can be useful when using ESPHome BLE gateway to forward the BLE messages to BLE monitor and you don't want to use Bluetooth adapter from your HA machine.
In the UI, you can select "Don't use Bluetooth adapter" to disable the use of the Bluetooth adapter.
In YAML, you can do this with the following:
ble_monitor:
bt_interface: "disable"
