Minimal IKEA IDÅSEN control tool written in Rust using btleplug.

• Scan for nearby desks
• Connect once and store the selected desk in ~/.idasen.json
• Move desk up/down
• Move desk to an explicit height
• Read current desk height
• Auto-managed background daemon for faster repeated commands

• Rust toolchain (stable)
• Bluetooth LE support on your system

cargo build --release

Binary:

./target/release/desk

desk list
desk connect [IDENTIFIER]
desk up
desk down
desk move-to <HEIGHT>
desk status

You can also run without installing:

cargo run -- <COMMAND>

Examples:

cargo run -- list
cargo run -- connect
cargo run -- connect "cc70b52f-b68e-356b-45f0-a401bed542ce"
cargo run -- status
cargo run -- move-to 45

Configuration is stored in:

~/.idasen.json

Default bounds:

• position_min: 0.0
• position_max: 58.0

up, down, move-to, and status use a background daemon that starts on demand and exits after 30 minutes of inactivity.

For debugging connection or timeout issues:

./target/release/desk --verbose --timeout 6 --connect-timeout 6 connect <IDENTIFIER>
