Bluetooth® Laser Measure App: Measure a Room in Home Planner

Home PlannerApp Team · October 14, 2026

Connect a compatible Bluetooth® laser measure — selected Bosch, Leica, Stanley, DEWALT and Mileseey models — to Home Planner and send each wall length into your floor plan.

Home Planner works as an app for your Bluetooth® laser measure: measure each wall with a compatible laser distance meter, and the reading goes straight into your floor plan. No notebook and no retyping.

Home Planner is built to connect to selected Bluetooth® laser measure models from Bosch, Leica, Stanley, DEWALT, Mileseey, STABILA, Würth, Hilti and other makers — around 60 models in the app's list today — on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android.

How it works

Home Planner connects to a compatible Bluetooth® laser measure and writes each reading into the wall, door or window size you select.

1. Connect your Bluetooth® laser measure to Home Planner once.
2. Measure a wall: open its size and press the button on your meter. The length goes into the plan.
3. Measure the whole room clockwise: the app tells you which wall, door or window to measure next.

Before you start

You need Home Planner PRO, a compatible Bluetooth® laser measure and a room drawn in the 2D plan.

Laser measures in the app's list

Home Planner is built to connect to the selected Bluetooth® laser measures below: around 60 models from Bosch, Leica DISTO, Stanley, DEWALT, Mileseey, STABILA, Würth, Hilti and other makers. The list comes from the app's own model list. We built support from publicly available descriptions of how each model connects; we have not tested every model on a real device. A model that is not in the list may not connect. If a listed model does not connect, contact support from the app. The full, current list is in the app: select ? next to Laser measure → Show all models.

Android only models: pair the meter in your phone's Bluetooth® settings first, then connect it in Home Planner.

Connect your laser measure

You connect a laser measure once, from the size keypad of any wall. Home Planner remembers it.

1. Open your project in the 2D plan and select the length of a wall. The size keypad opens.
2. Select Laser measure, the first button above the keypad, next to ?. The first time, allow Bluetooth® access (on Android: Nearby devices). Without PRO, the app opens Which laser meters work with the list of models and a Buy PRO button.
3. Turn on the Bluetooth® function of the laser measure (see the meter's manual). Until the meter is found, the app asks you to press its Bluetooth® button. Leica DISTO D810 or S910: first turn on Unencrypted App Mode on the meter.
4. Under Nearby, select your laser measure. The app connects and saves it under My devices.

Next time you open a size keypad, Home Planner reconnects to the same meter on its own.

Measure a wall with a laser measure

With a meter connected, every press of its button fills the size you are editing.

1. Select the size you want to measure: wall length, wall height, or the width, height or position of a door or window.
2. Check the line above the keypad: a green dot means the meter is connected.
3. Press the measure button on the laser measure. The reading appears in the selected field.
4. Select Done. Home Planner moves the wall to the new length.

The app shows the reading in your own units (metres or feet), whatever unit the meter uses.

Follow your device maker's safety instructions. Never point a laser at anyone's eyes.

Measure a whole room with a laser measure

The room series is a fast way to turn a sketch into a floor plan from your measured sizes: the app shows which wall, door or window to measure next, in clockwise order.

1. With a meter connected, open the length of a wall in a closed room and select Measure room ›.
2. Stand where the plan shows the meter mark and aim the beam along the red line to the opposite corner. Press the button: the wall gets its length, and the app goes to the next step.
3. For each door and window, the app asks for two readings: the distance from the corner to the opening, and the opening's width. If a door or window touches the corner, it asks only for the width.
4. Go on clockwise until the last wall. Select Skip to leave a step out, or the back arrow to measure it again.
5. If the shape of the room is still unclear, the app asks for diagonals from corner to corner. Then you see Room measured.

Select × to stop at any time: the walls you already measured stay in the plan.

Tips for accurate readings

Accurate readings come from single distance mode, a steady meter and one app connected to it.

• Set the laser measure to single distance mode, not area or volume.
• Hold the back of the meter flat against the wall or corner, at the same height for every wall.
• Close other measuring apps on the phone: a meter connects to one app at a time.
• Measure the whole wall from corner to corner first, then doors and windows.

Troubleshooting

Most connection problems come from Bluetooth® settings or from another app that holds the meter.

Questions and answers

Which Bosch, Leica and other laser measure models can I connect to Home Planner?

Selected Bluetooth® models from Bosch, Leica, Stanley, DEWALT, Mileseey, STABILA, Würth, Hilti and other makers — around 60 in the app's list today. See the table above, or select ? next to Laser measure in the app. Home Planner is not affiliated with these makers.

Is it free?

Connecting a laser measure is part of Home Planner PRO. Before you buy PRO, check that Laser measure shows above the size keypad. Without PRO, you can still draw and measure your plan by hand.

Does it work on Android and on Mac?

Yes: on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android. Some listed models work on Android only; the table marks them. The Windows version does not support laser measures.

Can I measure in feet?

Yes. The app shows readings in the units you chose in Home Planner and converts them from the meter's units for you.

Can I change a reading?

Yes. In the room series go back to the step and measure again, or select the wall on the plan. Every reading is a normal size you can also type or undo.

Why measure clockwise?

Going around the room in one direction lets the app place every corner, door and window in the right spot. It asks for diagonals only when the room shape needs them.
