Examples

Check for radio availability

// gives you 'true' if a radio is available (enabled or disabled) 
bool isVailable = HostRadio.IsAvailable;
// gives you 'true' if a radio is enabled (and therefore implicitly available)
bool isEnabled = HostRadio.IsEnabled;
// gives you 'true' if a radio is available and enabled
bool isOperable = HostRadio.IsOperable;

Turn Bluetooth On, Off or Restart it

Turn on:

using var radio = new HostRadio();
radio.EnableRadio();

Turn off:

using var radio = new HostRadio();
radio.DisableRadio();

Restart/reload:

using var radio = new HostRadio();
radio.RestartRadio();

Disconnect a remote device

using var radio = new HostRadio();
radio.DisconnectRemoteDevice("MAC address");
