Control your standing desk with the DeskUp Pro

Compatible desks include Maidesite, Desktronic, Boho, Jiecang, Desktopia, IKEA, Omnidesk, Fully Jarvis, Vari Desk, Hibitaro!

If your standing desk controller has an RJ11 / RJ12 port use the DeskUp Pro to integrate your desk with Home Assistant and control your desk from your phone, dashboards, automations or voice.

Why do I need a DeskUp Pro?

Sitting down at your desk too long isn't good for you, use the DeskUp Pro and your smart home to remind you to stand, or do more with it such as:

  • If you've been sat down too long:
    • Automatically raise the desk to standing height.
    • Announce on a smart speaker you have been sat down too long.
    • Or maybe flash a light
    • If you ignore it then 5 mins later have it nag you to stand up until you do!
  • After lunchtime raise the desk so you start the afternoon standing up (maybe trigger this as you walk into the room if you have a motion sensor).
  • Prefer to do meetings standing up, then if your calendar is exposed to your smart home system you could raise the desk 1 minute before your meeting starts.
  • Setup a dashboard on your smart home system so you can have an unlimited number of preset height buttons e.g. maybe each family member prefers a different sit & stand desk height.
  • Control your desk with Home Assistant's Assist, Google Home or Alexa (if your smart home system supports these)
  • At the end of the working day when you turn a smart light off or press a smart button automatically lower your desk.
  • If you work at a company maybe you could automatically raise all the desks in the office to help the cleaners vacuum underneath easier.

Compatibility Notice - Please Read Before Buying

Desk manufacturers could change their internal electronics and software at any time, however so far we've only seen Maidsite remove the RJ12 port on one controller model and have had no reports of anything else on the list above not working. 

But because this product is based on reverse engineering until you try it on your desk there is no 100% guarantee that it will or won't work.

It's your responsibility to determine if it's fit for your purpose before purchasing - therfore returns are not accepted.  Where we know of limitations we have mentioned them above and on our GitHub page.

Every desk known to us that works or doesn't is in the lists above.  If your desk is not on the list we cannot advise on its compatibility until someone tries it and tells us. Where controller model numbers are similar there is a high chance of compatibility.

If you try DeskUp Pro on a desk that is not on our compatibility list you could get 10% cash back, see this page for details.

DeskUp Pro was mentioned in the press

Why did I create the DeskUp Pro?

I was finding I was sitting down at my standing desk too much and this was causing Sciatica so I wanted to integrate the desk into my Smart Home System and have Alexa nag me to stand up more! And it helped.

So I open sourced the project on GitHub and decided to build and sell these so you can do the same.

I hope you enjoy and benefit from the device as much as I have.
