Remote Trigger BOSCH Laser Measurer on iOS & Android

With the Remote Trigger option in SerialMagic Keys (SMK) you remotely activate the BOSCH laser measure by tapping the SMK Command button on your phone or tablet. See this post for list of supported BOSCH laser measure models.
Instead of physically pressing the measurement button on the BOSCH device, tap the SMK Command and remotely trigger the laser measurements.
This is especially useful when the laser measure is:
- Positioned high above the person doing the measurement
- Located across a room or work area
- Set in a difficult-to-access location
- High-accuracy required
- Used for repeated measurements at a remote location
Measure Where You Can’t Reach
In the example shown here, the BOSCH laser measure is positioned high above the user to measure the distance of an overhead skylight. The measurer is properly positioned for the measurement, but its physical measure button is out of reach.
With SerialMagic Keys options: Laser Measurer Support and Allow Special Keys: Sample and Command, the user simply taps the Command Key displayed on the iPhone, iPad. SerialMagic Keys remotely commands the BOSCH device to take the measurement.
Without a ladder. No inconvenient reaching. Remotely Trigger BOSCH Laser Measurements.
Better Laser Measure Accuracy with SerialMagic Keys
Remote triggering improves laser measurement accuracy and consistency. Physically pressing the button on the laser measurer moves the device slightly. For precise measurement requirements you get better accuracy by avoiding physical contact with the measurer.
Using the SerialMagic Keys Remote Trigger allows the BOSCH laser measure to remain undisturbed while the measurement is taken.
This makes SerialMagic Keys remote trigger BOSCH feature valuable for applications requiring:
- Precise positioning
- Repeated measurements
- Fixed or mounted laser measures
- Hard-to-reach measurement points
- One-person measurement workflows
Remote Control Your BOSCH Laser Measure with SerialMagic Keys
Laser measurements post directly to your iOS or Android app.
SerialMagic Keys remote trigger option happens in the exact context of your app where the measurements are posted. You see exactly where your measurements are posted – two taps posts the measurement exactly there – without mistakes, or transcription errors.
First, put cursor where laser measurement is to post.

Next, tap the SerialMagic Command key for the Bosch laser measurer – briefly see “Measuring” as the measurement is made.

Finally, tap the SerialMagic Command key a second time to post the reading to the cursor location.

Remote Trigger Laser Measurer on iOS & Android
The Remote Trigger feature is available for both SerialMagic Keys iOS and SerialMagic Keys Android, giving users the flexibility to remotely control compatible BOSCH laser measures from phones and tablets.
Whether the laser measure is overhead, across the room, mounted in a fixed position, or simply beyond comfortable reach, SerialMagic Keys puts the measurement trigger directly on your mobile device.
With SerialMagic Keys Remote Trigger, position your BOSCH laser measure where the measurement needs to happen—not just where you easily reach its buttons.
Android extra: With SerialMagic Keys Android you map the laser measurer remote trigger to an android button. For example press volume-up or volume-down to remote trigger BOSCH Laser Measurer on Android.
