mover's Introduction

Mover

Companion application for your Autonomous sit-stand desk

Purpose

I own a sit-stand desk Autonomous and as much as the features it has are great for my body - deep focus can often lead to a general lack of awareness for extended periods of time where I don't utilize its features.

Let's see if we can't fix that by adding a middle-man between the buttons that I push to change the positions and the motor controllers to start scheduling a proper balance of sit/stand time without my intervention.

Initial Goal

Connect to system without having to splice any autonomous wiring
Raspberry Pi w/ 2x relays wired
API for exposing Start/Stop functionality
Randomized periods of sitting/standing that is aligned with general health recommendations

Future Goals

Current state (Up/Down) detection - distance sensor?
Use flags to allow customizing default settings
Persistent default modification
Synchronize with Calendar to be able to tell when I might be out-of-office and it doesn't have to move
- Fully automated start/stop
- Still have override functionality above
- Maybe enable some checking to only change if not in a meeting?

Current Thoughts

Testing dry-run before raspberry pi integration
Need to write the client
- Mover move - toggles the position based upon current understood position
- Mover move up - move up specifically - does nothing if already up
