BLE-Linker works with a small set of professional Bluetooth laser distance meters. Each model has its own internal profile so that the software can correctly interpret the distance packets and turn them into numbers sent to the field that has focus – on Windows or on Android.
Profiles only – no generic BLE mode Distances only, one shot at a time Same behavior on Windows and Android
Compact and simple, the DISTO D1 is ideal for quick room measurements. With BLE-Linker, each shot becomes one distance value that is formatted and “typed” into the focused field of your worksheet, form or note – whether you run on Windows or Android.
The PD-I is a robust device often used on construction sites. BLE-Linker listens to the distance packets it broadcasts over Bluetooth and injects the numeric values where your cursor is: Excel, an internal app, a web form or a simple text field.
A popular choice in the Bosch range. With BLE-Linker, the GLM 165 sends its distances over BLE, one shot at a time. Each distance is decoded, formatted and sent to whatever field currently has focus in your workflow.
The GLM 400 offers extended features on the device itself. For BLE-Linker, what matters is its ability to send accurate distances. Those individual readings are captured and forwarded to the active field, just like a very precise keyboard.
BLE-Linker does not try random Bluetooth characteristics. Each supported model is integrated with a dedicated profile that defines:
If your device is not listed on this page, BLE-Linker will not be able to talk to it correctly until a specific profile is created and tested for that model.
Even when the laser meter can compute area or volume on its own screen, the Bluetooth packets used by BLE-Linker only contain basic distance values. Those distances are:
Any area, volume or higher-level calculation stays under your control inside Excel or your own applications.
If you use a different professional BLE laser meter and would like it to appear here, it needs its own profile. That integration requires:
Once a model is profiled and validated, it can be added to this page and becomes officially compatible with both the Windows and Android editions of BLE-Linker.
