All the braille devices that are Bluetooth-capable that I'm aware of can be 
auto-detected. In other words, they all suppor thte concept of the host sending 
some particular byte sequence (different for ech model) and then they respond 
with some particular byte sequence. Brltty knows how to handle this.

At a more primitive level, the user could use the GUI to select from a list of 
supported models and then write the configuration file..
