Indeed! It's working on a consistent basis now so here's how I do it, with pictures:
1. Click on the little bluetooth icon on your menu bar, and select "Set Up Bluetooth Device..."
2. It should give you this window. "Searching for Bluetooth Devices"
3. Press the little red SYNC button on the back of your Wii Remote, and it should show up in the device list. Select your Wii Remote and click "Continue"
4. If you've already connected the remote before, it will give you this window. If not, disregard this step. Click "OK"
5. This window should appear saying pairing was unsuccessful. So you want to click "Passcode Options"
6. Once this pops up, click "Do not use a passcode with this device" and click OK.
7. Keep the Bluetooth Setup Assistant window open, and check the Bluetooth menu in your menu bar to see if the Wii Remote is connected.
8. Now open up Dolphin
9. Click "Wiimote"
10. Choose "Real Wiimote"
11. Press the little red SYNC button on the back of your Wii Remote
12. Click "Refresh" in Dolphin
13. When it says "1 Connected" immediately launch your game and the first LED light should come on and everything should work.
Also, I am using this Duracell sensor bar (great product) if it makes any difference.
