Anyone did custom controller for Ikea Rodulf?
1 project | /r/ikeahacks | 9 Feb 2023

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?
1 project | /r/StandingDesk | 30 Sep 2022

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.

Difference between IDÅSEN and UPPSPEL
1 project | /r/StandingDesk | 31 Oct 2021

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
