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!

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"

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.
