* HA Linak Desk integration

This component adds support for Linak desks to [[https://www.home-assistant.io][Home Assistant]]. It is in a very early state of development, no guarantees.

It should be compatible with any Bluetooth capable controller from [[https://www.linak.com][Linak]], including the [[https://www.ikea.com/nl/en/p/idasen-desk-sit-stand-brown-dark-grey-s79280955/][IDÅSEN]] desk sold by IKEA (which I own and so have tested).

** Install

Download and put in your =home-assistant-config>/custom_components/= directory. Restart Home Assistant and it should get discovered automatically. Otherwise, add it manually.
