There's no specific list for Android. If brltty supports a device then it supports it for Android. The only issue, here, is that an Android device doesn't have serial ports so you can assume that you can only use a braille device on Android if it can be accessed via USB or Bluetooth.

>I don't have the device yet, so cannot even test it/try adding the device etc.

We haven't yet made a clear statement about the BrailleSense 6 because we don't know for sure, yet, if it works via USB. We need a user with one to either verify that that does work or, if it doesn't, to help us get it to work. We do know, however, that using a BrailleSense 6 via Bluetooth does work.
