I was recently trying to come up with ways to TAS the Wii U game Super Smash Bros 4. I was initially planning on hacking a controller, but, because of the ways the buttons are set up, it would be hard and inaccurate. Then I remembered that the Wii controllers send button inputs over Bluetooth, (Hence the ability to use a Wii controller as an input device for a computer). My question is if you can use a computer to output a Bluetooth signal that a Wii or Wii U console will read as another controller.
I am decently experienced with programming, but almost nothing else. I apologize if this post is stupid.

Either emulate a Wii game on the computer (which is what you don't want) Or you can build a TASBot that will use the Wii controllers. Anyways it's really hard because you have to have the right wavelength and everything - furthermore, that info is probably only available to high-level Nintendo engineers. PS Here's link that might be useful - they connected Wii controllers to a computer; so could you reverse that process? https://hackaday.com/2013/12/30/using-the-wii-u-controller-with-everything/
Thank you and have a nice week! :)
