Bluetoothlow-energy.module missing

[andy-81]

Hi All,

I am trying to make use of the BLE function on an RPi3B (although had the same issue on an RPi4 as well). I am hoping someone may be able to point me to what I am missing or doing wrong.

I followed the steps to set up room assistant on a Pi and then followed the config for BLE, I assume the config is running correctly as it is trying to load up the BLE element. If I turn off BLE and switch to Bluetooth the config works.

The error I am receiving relates to bluetoothlow-energy.module apparently missing. I have tested scanning on the Pi3 using hcitool with the lescan option which works well. I have also tried attaching a USB bluetooth dongle to check it wasn't anything with using the inbuilt BLE on RPi3 or RPi4. Every time I run the command using BLE I receive the below error:

My Config looks like the below:

batteryMask: 0x0000FF00

I have stared out the username/password, IP address and mac addresses for obvious reasons but those elements match with what should be in them. I have tried with and wirthout the hciDeviceId along with changing to select the different modules I have with no change, the error always fails on the bluetoothlow-energy module being missing, but I am struggling to find out where I can get the module from.

Any help to understand what is missing would be appreciated, I have searched google but so far come up blank, I want to test the setup before purchasing any additional hardware so using what I have laying around at the minute, ultimately I plan to get some Pi Zero's but they are gold dust at the minute.
