Measuring with a laser and your voice
Connect a Bosch laser, measure each size twice, and say sizes and commands in English or Chinese.
A preview feature
Laser measuring, measuring each size twice, voice and the AI assistant are preview features. They show a small Preview tag and appear once SmartMQ has switched them on for your business. Ask us if you would like to try them.
Which lasers work
Bosch lasers with Bluetooth that work with the Bosch MeasureOn app. The GLM 50-27 CG has been tested. Others in the same family (GLM 50-27 C, 50 C, 100-25 C, 120 C, 150-27 C and the PLR C models) should work. Use Chrome on Android or a computer, or the SmartMQ Android app. iPhone browsers can’t connect to Bluetooth lasers.
Connect your laser
Open a window on the measure page and tap Laser beside Dimensions. The first time, a short guide walks you through it: turn on the laser’s Bluetooth, tap Find my laser and pick it from the list, then take a test shot and check the number matches the laser’s screen. After that it reconnects by itself. If your laser doesn’t appear, press its Bluetooth button again and close Bosch MeasureOn or any other laser app, because a laser talks to one app at a time.
Taking shots
Each press of the laser’s measure button fills the next size: the width, then the drop. The strip above the sizes shows which one the next shot goes to; tap Width or Drop to change it. Every shot can be undone from the message at the bottom of the screen. A shot that looks wrong, such as 165 mm where 1650 mm is likely, is flagged so you can fix it.
Measuring each size twice
Your business sets the rule in Settings › Operations › Measuring each size. By default each size needs 2 measurements that agree within ±2 mm, and the smaller one is kept. The size shows 1/2 until the second agrees, ! when they don’t, and ✓ once confirmed. One stray shot never blocks you; just measure again. After a few tries you can tap a reading to use it, and the office sees the size wasn’t confirmed. Tap the ⓘ beside the rule to see how it works. Measurers may choose to take more measurements, never fewer.
Tape sizes too
To ask for every typed size twice as well, switch on Tape (typed) sizes on the same Settings card. After you type a width and tap Next or →, a Width again box opens for the second measurement.
Measuring at 3 points
For outdoor blinds and recesses that aren’t square, switch on Measure at 3 points on the product (Admin › Products › the product › Details). The measure page then asks for the width at top, middle and bottom and the drop at left, middle and right, keeps the smallest, and warns when they differ by more than your business allows.
Using your voice
Tap the microphone beside Dimensions. The first time, choose English or 中文, whether it listens all the time or only while you hold the microphone, and whether it reads sizes back. Then say a size (“width 1482”, “宽 1482”, or just “1650” for the next empty size), a room (“bedroom 2”), “next window”, “undo”, “repeat” to hear the sizes, “done” to save and close, or “stop listening”. Deleting is never done by voice. Spoken sizes follow the same measure-twice rule as tape sizes. Voice works in Chrome and Edge; in the SmartMQ app it needs the latest app version.
Is my voice recorded?
No. Your phone’s or browser’s own speech service turns what you say into words, and SmartMQ only receives the words. No audio is recorded, uploaded or kept on the phone.
The AI assistant (Pro and Enterprise)
When you say something that isn’t one of the fixed commands, such as “same blind as window one, width twelve hundred, there’s a power point on the left”, the assistant shows a short plan for the window you are on: sizes, product, a note, copying another window’s product and options, a room, or the next window. Nothing changes until you say yes or tap Apply, and one “undo” puts it all back. It only uses sizes you actually said, never copies sizes from another window, and can’t delete anything. Only your words and the job’s room and window names are sent. Pro includes 300 assistant replies a month and Enterprise 1,000; simple voice commands don’t use any.
