Wii Remotes Pairing but not connecting

I’ve been following the instructions from the Wii Remote page of the Github Wiki to pair two Wii Remotes (one with MotionPlus, one without; both are genuine) to Lakka. I initially had no success with my scan (they were recognised but didn’t pair), but eventually I was able to pair the devices by typing pair [MAC] while holding the sync buttons on each controller. I was also able to use trust [MAC]. However, connect [MAC] fails (I’ve bolded the lines where I try to connect):

Does anyone know what’s happening here? Thanks :slight_smile:
