I think, I do not really get what you want...

But may you can define and use a tbot flag?

$ tbot --help | grep FLAG
             [-f FLAG] [-p NAME=VALUE] [-v] [-q] [--version] [--log LOGFILE]
   -f FLAG               set a user defined flag to change testcase behaviour

define the flag with:

FLAGS = {
         "hard-reset" : "hard reset the board",
}

use it in code with:

if "hard-reset" in tbot.flags:
     do stuff
else:
     do other stuff

example output at my setup (fast added above flag):

$ tbot @argsk30rfv4 --list-flags
tbot starting ...
