I can get the power to come on and off via the IR bar on the Wii
I'm curious as to how you're even doing that. The IR bar only emits IR light. It is not a sensor and cannot be used to control the Wii itself.
And you won't be able to control the Wii by any 3rd party item. It is native to it's bluetooth remote and that's it.
