Perch drives an IKEA IDASEN (Linak) sit/stand desk from Windows over Bluetooth LE. Type an exact height in centimetres and press Go, save two presets, or run a schedule that stands the desk up for a few minutes every hour between the times you choose. It sits in the notification area so the schedule keeps working, and can start with Windows.
The package also installs perch-cli, a command line tool for scripts and automation: list devices, read the height, and move the desk, with JSON output and documented exit codes.
