I think the problem is the hciconfig isn’t staying in an “UP RUNNING PSCAN” mode. If you type hciconfig after you initially pair your controller, what do you seen? If you aren’t seeing PSCAN, you won’t be able to reconnect your controller. I had to fight with this problem. What worked for me was adding a couple lines to /etc/rc.local before ‘exit 0’ to keep the PSCAN up and running
