  • megadesk

    Open-source IKEA Bekant controller board

  • If you’ve got an IKEA Bekant and are interested in this sort of thing then Megadesk[1] and Megadesk Companion[2] will allow it to connect to Home Assistant for automation (and also adds memory states).

  • upsy-desky-autostand

    a quick and dirty python script to control a standing desk

  • I have this and it works great. I wrote a script for it that checks my google calendar to make sure I'm not in a meeting (nothing worse than your desk suddenly moving positions when you're in the middle of talking to folks) and then moves my desk to a standing position for a configured amount of time every day. https://github.com/signalnine/upsy-desky-autostand

  • uplift-cli

  • I bought one of these https://www.upliftdesk.com/bluetooth-adapter-for-uplift-desk... but the app UX was not my favorite. Fortunately someone decoded all the BT commands so I made https://github.com/dylanowen/uplift-cli and connected that to a schedule and cmd+enter. It's great to just type stand to stand

  • idasen

    Python API and CLI for the ikea IDÅSEN desk.

  • I have an ikea idasen sit/stand desk, which turns out to have bluetooth.

    There are a bunch of projects on github, but I used:

    https://github.com/newAM/idasen

    You can install it with just "pip install idasen"
