**Adafruit.com** – Maker and electronics enthusiast Wassim Chegham has successfully hacked his FlexiSpot E2B standing desk to control its settings using Google Assistant. The project, detailed on Chegham’s blog, involved disassembling the desk (voiding the warranty), and using transistors as switch activators connected to an Onion Omega 2+ board.
Chegham’s innovative approach allows users to adjust their desk’s height and other features through voice commands, bringing a new level of convenience to the home office. While the project is presented as a fun experiment, it serves as a reminder to exercise caution when modifying electronic devices and to always have a backup plan.
The full details of the project, including schematics and code, are available on Chegham’s blog post. Adafruit, a leading provider of open-source electronics and educational resources, encourages makers to explore innovative solutions and shares a wealth of information and support for projects like this.
