boy do I have just the thing for you (disclaimer: I have nothing to do with, nor have I tried this): https://www.tindie.com/products/tjhorner/upsy-desky/

if your standing desk has that ethernet like connection scheme, something like this might just work out of the box!

I have this and it works great. I wrote a script for it that checks my google calendar to make sure I'm not in a meeting (nothing worse than your desk suddenly moving positions when you're in the middle of talking to folks) and then moves my desk to a standing position for a configured amount of time every day. https://github.com/signalnine/upsy-desky-autostand
