Remote control for a Desktronic HomePro desk with an ESP32-C6

Fri, 09 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I work remotely and spend anywhere from several to a dozen-plus hours a day at the computer — which is anything but healthy for my back and spine. That’s why I decided to buy an electric standing frame from Desktronic, the HomePro version. My main criterion was the frame’s load capacity: 160 kg. The desktop came over from my previous desk — it’s not a Desktronic one, but a custom top a carpenter made to fit my needs, and it weighs a fair bit too. There’s quite a lot of gear on it right now: three monitors, a mini rack and a few other things — and the desk still copes with me sitting on top of it :). After the initial excitement and playing around, though, I kept forgetting to change position while working — and that was the whole reason for buying it. What can you do about that? Well, obviously — I’m a DevOps engineer, so it has to be automated! ;-) That’s what this article is about — enjoy the read.
