Update:

Found this [link](https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=138145), it mentions to do this:

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez blueman  
sudo reboot

Wait for restart.

After that…  
cpi@clockworkpi:~$ sudo bluetoothctl  
Waiting to connect to bluetoothd…

Then and I stood up, cooked something and when I returned 30 min later, it still displays the same.

Seems like this is beyond me, or Bluetooth is not included.

To the Linux jedis around here, please help me to undo what I have done.
