This project still works (04/08/2023), but has been deprecated in favour of Idasen Tray.

IDASEN CLI

Control your IKEA Idasen standing desk from a minimal CLI. This project is built around idasen-controller by rhyst.

REQUIREMENTS

• Python 3
• Windows Terminal with a PowerShell 5 profile
• A Bluetooth LE analyser like Bluetooth LE Lab (note this is only needed once to find your desk's MAC address)

INSTALL

• Download the latest release.

• Unzip the package.

• Create a Python virtual environment in idasen-cli's directory:

  python -m venv .venv

CONFIGURE

• Pair your PC to your desk via Bluetooth.

• Configure for Windows Terminal:

  idasen-cli as provided assumes you have a Windows Terminal profile named "PowerShell 5"; if you don't have one, modify the run.bat script by replacing the "PowerShell 5" occurences with the name of your PowerShell 5 profile:

  WT -d . -p "<ps5-profile>" server.bat ; nt -d . -p "<ps5-profile>" client.bat

• Configure config.bat:

  OPTION	DESCRIPTION
  mac_address	your desk's MAC address: this should never have to be changed once set
  favourites	your desk height settings (see idasen-controller's configuration)

USAGE

• Run idasen-cli.bat or the Idasen CLI shortcut.

  A new Windows Terminal instance will open with two tabs: the left tab is the idasen-controller server that keeps a connection open with your desk; the right tab is the minimal idasen-cli.

• Interact with the CLI.

  Specify a preset either by name (like "sit" or "stand") or id. Type status or 0 to get the current desk height.
