Connect a smart sit/stand controller to Bekant
An internet hero posted how I could reprogram the existing controller to function with two memory options (https://github.com/ivanwick/bekantfirmware). Still interested if the UPPSPEL could be retrofitted for the BEKANT, but I may try the BEKANT firmware change to achieve change in the meantime.

Anyone did custom controller for Ikea Rodulf?
Hello, I saw that project for IKEA Bekant https://github.com/gcormier/megadesk, and as Rodulf seems very similar I wonder if somebody builded custom controller for it, or at least build custom remote. The goal is to build it in desk, next to the usb hub with some nicer buttons, so this is a great opportunity to add predefined profiles if possible

Anyone using an app to train / motivate them to use your standing desk?
I know some people are using the esphome integration with megadesk ( https://github.com/gcormier/megadesk ) with this in mind but not sure how many are doing it. If you are talking about an app I don't think there's anything in that space. Just simple nodered/etc automations or reminders.

KiBot release - now supports KiCad v6!
So for megadesk now, when i tag a release, KiBot does many things, but one of which is makes a PDF of the schematic, so if anyone wants they could take a quick look without even having KiCad installed. https://github.com/gcormier/megadesk/releases/tag/pcb-v8-C668117
- Control the standing desk with Alexa, Google or Siri is it possible?
- Starting to use git with kicad projects, do you commit gerbers & boms?

Difference between IDÅSEN and UPPSPEL
I've read it's either the power supply dies, or the motors stop responding. We found that you can re-initialize the motors (which was undocumented I think? Or maybe not well known) https://github.com/gcormier/megadesk/issues/24
