Support Linak Desks

[thexperiments]

The problem

The Ikea Ideasen desk Integration shows a new desk and I'm able to pair it however I can't move it using the controls and as soon as I operate the slider the desk crashes displaying E16.

My desk is a professional desk from a big office furniture brand and uses a Linak hight adjustment system. Linak seems to be the OEM for Ikea height adjustable desks and thus my desk gets discovered.

It would be great if the Desk could be supported natively in home assistant. Some information which might help can be found here: https://github.com/j5lien/esphome-idasen-desk-controller (this worked for me partially, just the hight calculation seems different. https://github.com/krzmaz/LinakDeskEsp32Controller

I'm happy to support as I have a programming background however I currently don't have a homassistant + bluetooth development environment set up. Maybe it is just a small modification which needs to be done to make it work.

Thanks

I also have a desk with Linak controller that's not an Ikea-Desk. Discovery & connection worked for me (with ESPHome, not with BT included in the raspberry). I can also see the current height of the desk in HASS, but I cannot change it. As soon as I change the size in HASS, nothing happens but I cannot change the height on the desk anymore, until I click the stop-button in HASS and wait for a few seconds.
