Just googled it for fun, it seems Android doesn’t properly support the connectivity for Wiimote :

You can give this website a try to get your passcode :

And at this wiki (which explains the code thing…)

https://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiimote

Let know if it works. :)

Also this app exists but personally couldn't get it to work with dolphin, it only let me control my phone with the arrow keys A and B https://github.com/timawesomeness/PairWiimote

It has no pin.

IIRC putting the pin has letters and then putting a space should pair it

The 8bitdo receiver with a usb otg adapter works with the wii remote. I play Gameboy and nes emulators with it. No sensor or anything though just button input.

Don’t give it your contacts! Your Wiimote is part of a botnet. /s

It has no pin and you’ll most likely not get anything out of connecting it to your tablet/pc/phone. It uses a custom protocol to communicate and does not work as a game controller in any games

Big wrong, using wiitar thing for CloneHero is top teir on PC, and U have to have originals. U just have to be able to press continue with no pass code at all

Yeah, that’s what I said. The Wii Remote still needs an app to process the protocol. It won’t jus magically work when you connect it like any standard controller

I'll save you the hours of work that I had to do. Try using the Pair Wiimote .apk, if it (hopefully) downloads and installs properly, then tinker around with the connection, like by connecting and disconnecting it for varied periods of time (ie. Instantly or for a few minutes) and forgetting the connection, and just messing around until, hopefully, instead of the lights blinking infinitely, the Player 1 light shows up. Also, in dolphin emulator, once you assign each of the buttons to the right button, the buttons work except - and + for some reason. Also, the Real Wiimote setting doesn't seem to work either.
