this command

emulatorcmd.exe list /sku:Android /type:device

show a list of available devices

Identifier | Name | Version
-------------------------------------±-----------------------------±-----------
226C76AC-9E9A-4EBD-A495-79E8C5C5292F | 7" KitKat (4.4) XHDPI Tablet | 1.0.60404.1
363F7AED-462C-46BD-9FEC-F1DD3B79916C | 5" KitKat (4.4) XXHDPI Phone | 1.0.60404.1

and with this command you can run a device with (Identifier) code:

emulatorcmd.exe /sku:Android launch /id:226C76AC-9E9A-4EBD-A495-79E8C5C5292F
