You can run:

thank you

No problem, I will leave this issue open as a reminder to put that in the README

hmm, unfortunately it didnt do the job. if i e.g. move the table by hand, than a linak-controller --server-address my-table --forward move them back to the former position. I think it looks like, the server did not recognize the position change. If i would let my home automation poll with that method, it would make the hand switch unusable.

I have connected my desk to my home automation over a REST Api and a (pushing) webhook, which I implemented in my own branch https://github.com/voruti/linak-controller/tree/typescript-rewrite. Maybe this can help you.

I am not sure what the problem is. When I move my desk using the physical switch, and run linak-controller (either using server mode or not) then it accurately reports the current height.
