Query desk height without server mode? #93

Closed iamchanghyunpark closed 7 months ago

iamchanghyunpark commented 7 months ago

Hello, I'm trying to use a HomeKit shortcut button to create a shortcut that toggles between two heights. But first I need to know the current height of the desk to do this.

I could have my desktop computer serve as the server and use the --forward command to read out the height. But I was also wondering if we could use the linak-controller command (without a server) to quickly query the desk height. A simple output similar to the --forward command would be what I'm looking for.

(I understand that this type of query might have a longer latency as the command would need to establish a connection with the desk every time (which has some latency)

Is there a query such as linak-controller --height that might query and print the current height of the desk?

You get the height back if you just run linak-controller (no server needed)
