Can`t pair wiimote

[mpyatishev]

Hello!
I can`t pair my wiimote. Wiimote device is not original Nintendo device - it is DBPower.
Bluez version is 5.43.
Here is the command outputs:

~>hcitool inq --iac=liac
Inquiring ...
        00:17:AB:39:49:CF       clock offset: 0x5880    class: 0x002504

                <interlaced iscan> <interlaced pscan> <AFH cap. slave>

What would you recommend to do?

Same problem here with another device

I opened two consoles one for hcitool commands in the second terminal I opened bluetoothctl. The moment you use hcitool info you can pair the device. Took me some attempts for the correct timing.

Now the device automatically connects to the bluetooth controller for 5 sec when pressing any button and then disconnects.
modprobe hid-wiimote

Now I'm stuck at actually using the device.

Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)...

Maybe you've got more luck...
