<strong>Installing & Configuring Wiimote for Kodibuntu</strong>

* Open command line and issue
:<code>sudo apt-get install bluez kodi-eventclients-wiiremote</code>
* Next answer yes to any questions regarding space usage by the packages being installed.
* Now open the battery cover on the wiimote and locate the internal red button. (leave batteries installed)
* Go back to command line and issue

:<code>hcitool scan</code> 

:and immediately press the internal red button on the wiimote.
*In the Command line you should get an output that goes something like this 
:<code>00:1F:32:FC:D8:C9       Nintendo RVL-CNT-01</code>
* You should either take a screenshot of the Bluetooth mac address or write it down somewhere.
* Finally you need to edit the config file located at 
:<code>sudo nano /etc/rc.local</code>

:and insert the following at the bottom

:<code>kodi-wiiremote --btaddr 00:1F:32:FC:D8:C9 &</code>

*Make sure this is inserted before "exit 0"
*Obviously you will need to replace the mac address with the one that you wrote down earlier. 
*Don't leave out the "&" at the end of the insertion.

* Save the file and restart.
* Once restarted all you need to do is hold down the 1 and 2 buttons and it should connect soon after.
