Instructions on how to reset the autonomous desk. This fixes a problem where the desk will not lower (also reportedly fixes incorrectly reported heights).

Reset Steps:
1. Unplug the desk for 20 seconds. Plug it back in. Wait a full 20 seconds.
2. Press the up and down buttons until the desk lowers all the way and beeps or 20 seconds pass.
3. Release both buttons.
4. Press the down buttons until the desk beeps one more time or 20 seconds pass.
Then you are good to go!

For a moment I thought, the desk is broken which worked previous night. But a simple search on internet brought up this page as top result.

Saved several minutes (and mostly from the frustration I might get if it didn't work - it is only one year old)

Mine would not move if both up and down were pressed together, but did with just pressing down.

thank goodness, anyone know how or why it would get into a state of 000 where you'll need to reset it?

Fixed my problem where the desk thought the height of the lower setting was my up setting.

Thank you!!! Knew there must be a way to reset the "0" point!

Thank you sir. This is still legitimate as of today. This is the 3rd time since I bought my standing desk in 2021.

These steps didn't work for my autonomous desk, but I did find some other steps via their support chat that worked for me.

Been using this tip for 5+ years now..
Does anyone get a smoky smell from the desk when adjusting height. Is there lubricating that needs to be done to the desk or some other maintenance? Works fine otherwise.
Edit: am trying to add mineral oil to the expanding legs and raise them up/down couple times. Not helping a lot but this should be a part of this "regular maintenance"

Still works!!!! Thanks.

Just a heads up if you have a control box that accepts 3 legs and you have 2 legs plugged in this won’t work.
