upsy-desky-autostand

a quick and dirty python script to control a standing desk

Works with the Upsy Desky

Why

I wanted a script that raises and lowers my desk automatically to achieve my goal to stand at my desk a minimum amount of time with sitting breaks in between. But I find it really disruptive when this happens when I'm in a meeting so I added some functionality to only raise/lower my desk when I'm not in a meeting according to my Google Calendar (supports any publicly-readable ICS format calendar).

How

  • Modify the configuration parameters in standing.py
  • Run it in a cronjob that runs once a day at the start of your workday. Or run it manually, I'm not the boss of you.
