Retired!

I no longer sell this product, and no more units will be produced. Instead, you can buy its successor, the Upsy Desky. It does the same thing, but comes packed with improvements like USB-C and an ESP32!

With this device, you can connect your motorized standing desk to your home automation system. It can read your desk's current height, and set it as well. This lets you create automations that integrate with your desk, for example:

• If you're sitting for too long, raise desk to standing height
• When you leave home, raise desk to max height so the cat can't knock things over
• Have an infinite number of presets for everyone in your household
• Send desk height data to InfluxDB to analyze how often you're sitting vs. standing
• Publish your desk's height on the internet

Or whatever else you'd like. The possibilities are endless! As long as the possibilities involve a standing desk.

This project is fully open-source. If you would like to modify the design or get your own boards fabricated, head to the GitHub repo. You'll find everything you need there.

Compatibility

Any standing desk that uses RJ45 to connect to the keypad is likely compatible, but these brands of desks have been verified to work, with official firmware provided:

• UPLIFT v2
• Fully Jarvis

If your desk brand isn't listed here, check out this wiki page on desk compatibility to see if yours is possibly compatible.

Firmware and Resources

There is no firmware installed by default (since I don't know what desk brand you use!), but there is a micro-USB port available for you to flash whatever you would like. Stock ESPHome firmware for different desk brands is available to flash, as well as config templates. KiCad and Fusion 360 source files are available on GitHub as well.
