Created by SmartHomeGuys in the UK, the DeskUp Pro is a standing desk controller utilizing an ESP32 design, compatible with Home Assistant, Homey Pro, and other smart home hubs, via the standard RJ11/RJ12 connection of the desk.
Many modern standing desks include a controller from Jiecang or others with an RJ12 port. DeskUp Pro connects to this port, receiving power without an additional USB supply, and integrates the desk controls into your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. This integration enables desk height automation, health-centric standing reminders, and compatibility with voice assistants like Google Home and Alexa, while maintaining the function of the desk’s original physical controls.
