I haven't tried it but I think you can just pull the usb plug and if necessary go into voiceover utility > braille and start it. That switch between usb and bluetooth is really great; I would like to eventually see an upgraded model or maybe an upgrade to the firmware that would allow one to switch between bluetooth devices with the press of a button. Right now I have the Edge paired with all my devices but this means that if one device unlocks temporarily just to tell me how many notifications I have (it does this even though I don't have notifications in locked screen; it still has to announce that I have them - lol!) it stops my display with the i-device I am using and I have to lock and unlock the i-device again. But I still prefer that to pairing again each time I want to use a different device. But anyway, my bluetooth keyboards start up at login but maybe there is some reason why a bluetooth braille display can't. If I were you I would contact accessibility about this if you really can't use it on bluetooth at login. When I get time, I will do some testing on this. I do btw use a usb switch to switch my Braille Edge between my computers with usb but that's more info than you wanted - no extra charge!
