I think you already have what you need. You can get notified about a device connection by connecting to gui2.device_signals.device_connection_changed(bool ). If you need to look at the device_db, then also connect to gui2.device_signals.device_metadata_available.
You can use the device_information list, and in particular the driveinfo dict in the fifth element, to manage individual devices. If you want to see this list, then connect to gui2.device_signals.device_metadata_available. When it fires, call foo=gui.device_manager.get_current_device_informat ion() and get the driveinfo dict from foo[4]. That dict has the device UUID and a bunch of other info you can use to determine whether or not to send the queued documents. You would use gui.sync_to_device if you want calibre to select between formats and do auto-conversion. You could use gui.upload_books if you don't care about format checking and will supply the formats to send.
