Starting Genymotion virtual device from the command line

I'm using Genymotion to emulate an android device on macOS.
Is there a way to start the virtual device from the command line instead of going through the gui?

First get a list of all the available devices:
/Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS/gmtool admin list
This will generate an output like this:
State | ADB Serial | UUID | Name
----------+-----------------+------------------------------------+---------------
Off | 127.0.0.1:6554 |844b2f88-c9a0-4f4b-b18c-a722496b4f81| Google Pixel C
The start the device from command line with:
/Applications/Genymotion.app/Contents/MacOS/player.app/Contents/MacOS/player -n 844b2f88-c9a0-4f4b-b18c-a722496b4f81
