If you are using Hass.io on HassOS you cant use existing methods to enable the I2C bus on a Raspberry Pi, you will have to [enable the I2C interface in the Hass.io configuration](https://github.com/home-assistant/hassos/blob/dev/Documentation/boards/raspberrypi.md#i2c) using a USB stick. To accomplish that, follow this step by step instructions: [Enable HassOS i2c](https://www.home-assistant.io/hassio/enable_i2c).
