Kodi (formally XBMC)/wiimote

Installing & Configuring Wiimote for Kodibuntu

• Open command line and issue

sudo apt-get install bluez kodi-eventclients-wiiremote

• 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

hcitool scan

and immediately press the internal red button on the wiimote.

• In the Command line you should get an output that goes something like this

00:1F:32:FC:D8:C9 Nintendo RVL-CNT-01

• 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

sudo nano /etc/rc.local

and insert the following at the bottom

kodi-wiiremote --btaddr 00:1F:32:FC:D8:C9 &

• 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.
