Can't get -TR model wiimote connected in Linux (udev working)

[camus]

I can't get my brand new wiimote -TR model working in dolphin.
I am running current Arch linux.
Now using XFCE but have also been using enlightenment WM.

Code:

[camus@camus ~]$ lsusb

Using the plugable usb 4.0 dongle with Broadcom chipset as above.

Code:

[BluetoothPassthrough]
Enabled = True
VID = 2652
PID = 8680
LinkKeys =
[USBPassthrough]
Devices = 0a5c:21e8
[AutoUpdate]
UpdateTrack =
HashOverride =
[NetPlay]
TraversalChoice = direct

I have converted the VID & PID to decimal and hardcoded for bluetooth passthrough to ~/.config/dolphin-emu/Dolphin.ini as instructed elsewhere.

Code:

[camus@camus rules.d]$ sudo cat 10*

#SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="24c0", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0003", SYMLINK="weather", MODE="0666", GROUP="users"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0a5c", ATTRS{idProduct}=="21e8", TAG+="uaccess", TAG+="udev-acl"

# Set bluetooth power up
#ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="hci0", RUN+="/usr/bin/hciconfig hci0 up"
[camus@camus rules.d]$

Udev rule set-up and functioning. No longer getting the "Failed to open Bluetooth device: LIBUSB_ERROR_ACCESS" error.

Now I'm stuck. The wiimote simply doesn't interface with dolphin, but games work.
Before I got the udev rule set-up I did confirm that the wiimote paired with bluetooth-manager and was able to interact with my desktop.
I have since unpaired the wiimote and passthrough appears to be working properly.

Any help is appreciated....

Are they third party wiimotes? I've literally just posted a question around a similar problem with 3rd party TR01 remotes. I can get them to sync after 3-4 minutes of trying, but they disconnect after a couple of minutes and you have to start again. My original wiimote (pre 2010) works just fine though.

I'm also using Bluetooth passthrough with appropriate udev permissions. It's definitely remote specific at this stage as I've had the third party ones synced at primary controller but even if my old one is secondary, it retains connection whereas the 3rd party ones don't.

This is a brand new Nintendo branded wiimote.

Damn. All I can say right now is that my old style remote works perfectly. It's the new style TR ones, third party for me, original for you, that are causing the issue. I know dolphinbar issued firmware updates to support new style remotes, but I'm already about to send my Dolphinbar back as it underperforms compared to Bluetooth plus custom IR bars. I wonder if we have a TR specific problem with direct Bluetooth pass through... Which is a relatively new feature after all...

I'm not using the dolphinbar but a battery powered IR bar.
