Standing Desk

A little PlatformIO, Arduino-based project, to let me control my Flexispot standing-desk via a REST API*.

Required hardware:

• Flexispot E7 pro (Or similar?)
• Adafruit Huzzah32
• RJ-45 cable + jack/breakout board.

Other resources

Optional software:

• Home assistant
• CURL or other REST client software.

Inspiration drawn from:

• Hardware: https://www.devmire.com/2021/10/03/reverse-engineering-a-standing-desk-for-fun-and-profit/
• Pinout: https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/493524
• Height-decoding: https://github.com/grssmnn/ha-flexispot-standing-desk/tree/master?tab=readme-ov-file
• Commands: https://github.com/iMicknl/LoctekMotion_IoT

Functionality

Current

• GET / returns welcome message and local IP address.
• GET /height returns last height reading, and reading 'staleness'.
• POST /height/preset/{preset-id} moves desk to preset height.
• DELETE /height stops any movement in progress.

Todo

• Improve height query responsiveness.
• Move desk to specific height (PUT /height/{height_mm}?)
• Save presets from API?
• Continuous UP/DOWN button presses? Web-sockets?
• Voice controls?

*or as close to REST as I can get with the package available - not sure how to decode a request body yet...
