I can answer your first question :wink:

You can use adb commands and in that you can specifically mention device’s serial id(in adb devices). You can simulate any android button using command “adb shell input keyevent”, For example:
To press Home button on your android device: “adb -s XXX shell input keyevent KEYCODE_HOME”, where XXX is your device’s id.
