Commands dont execute unless i wake desk from control panel CB38M2L(IB)-1 and HS01B-1

[briodan]

i'm running this on an ESP8266 D1 mini and i'm running into an issue where the commands don't execute unless I wake the desk from a physical control button. After waking the desk from a physical button i get less then 10 seconds to execute a command from the ESP before it goes unresponsive

The ESP8266 is connected via the second RJ45 port, while the HS01B-1 panel is connected to the first port.

here is my config

substitutions:
  device_description: ESP8266 Custom
  friendly_name: desk
  name: desk
  min_height: "62.6" # Min height + 0.1
  max_height: "127.9" # Max height - 0.1

Did you follow the instructions and did you connect and turn PIN20 on or off?

ok now i feel like and idiot turns out there was a loose connection on one of the pins that would slip into place everytime i pushed the button on the control panel.
