The Wiimotes should not turn off normally, except you've installed RemoteBuddy drivers – there's an according option in the preferences dialog.
Here's another software that may be interesting for you:

MoteDaemon is a MacOS X-based server that connects to Wii remotes and sends the motion and button data to connected XML client applications (coded in Flash, Flex, …). We also provide an exemplary Flash application and all sources of the client and the server (included in the release archive).
