 # Example configuration.yaml entry
 keyboard_remote:
-  device_descriptor: '/dev/input/event12'
   type: 'key_up'
 ```
 
 Configuration variables:
 
-- **device_descriptor** (*Required*): Path to the local event input device file that corresponds to the keyboard.
 - **type** (*Required*): Possible values are `key_up`, `key_down`, and `key_hold`. Be careful, `key_hold` will fire a lot of events.
+- **device_descriptor** (*Optional*): Path to the local event input device file that corresponds to the keyboard.
+- **device_name** (*Optional*): Name of the keyboard device.
+
+Either `device_name` or `device_descriptor` must be present in the configuration entry. Indicating a device name is useful in case of repeating disconnections and re-connections of the device (for example, a bluetooth keyboard): the local input device file might change, thus breaking the configuration, while the name remains the same.
+In case of presence of multiple devices of the same model, `device_descriptor` must be used.
+
+A list of possible device descriptors and names is reported in the debug log at startup when the device indicated in the configuration entry could not be found.
+
+A full configuration for Keyboard Remote could look like the one below:

+```yaml
