Maidesite Standing Desk with ESPHome

Great work @Shades66.

I am planing to automate my Maidesite Desk, just waiting for the RJ12 cable to arrive.

By any chance could you add a photo / pic with the esp wiring. The devider for the TX connection is confusing me a bit.

Thanks a lot.

Edit: The cable arrived, but the colors are different. I think I have managed to work out the connections.
I have set up the eps32. Now when I trigger the TEST button, the desk control pannel lights up and the following is printed to the console. The rest of the sensors are unavailable.

It seem I’ve got some data send to the desk, but looks like nothing is getting from the desk to the ESP32.

[21:49:35][D][uart_debug:176]: >>> 241,241,7,0,7,126,241,241,8
[21:49:35][D][uart_debug:176]: >>> 0,8,126,241,241,9,0,9,126
[21:49:35][D][uart_debug:176]: >>> 241,241,12,0,12,126,241,241,14
[21:49:35][W][component:204]: Component api took a long time for an operation (0.05 s).
[21:49:35][W][component:205]: Components should block for at most 20-30ms.
[21:49:35][D][uart_debug:176]: >>> 0,14,12

Edit 2:

Got there at the end. Works well. Can’t wait to automate my daily standing routine :slight_smile:

Thanks again for your work!!!
