Recently I had the chance to use some bluetooth Fluke voltmeters, and I thought you might like to know how they compared with the Mooshimeter.

– The Fluke BT multimeters are bulky and really expensive, but also phenomenally well made. No surprise there.
– The specialised Fluke senders are smaller and less expensive, but only capable of one type of measurement (eg DC voltage).
– The resolution of the Fluke voltage senders is only 0.1mV
– Both Fluke and Mooshimeter have really good range and maintain a connection under difficult conditions (lots of interference, lots of metal between sender and receiver).
– The Fluke senders eat batteries in standby and have to be switched off manually. In my set-up the senders are difficult to access, so this is a significant inconvenience.
– The connection process after switching on the Fluke receiver is slow.
– With multiple Fluke senders there is no good way to know which is which. The order they are listed on the receiver can change each time it is switched on.
– The Flukes can transmit logged data wirelessly.
– Last but not least, the Fluke app requires a ridiculous number of permissions including full access to private phone data and to the network. Furthermore Fluke’s privacy policy is worthless. I don’t know if the Fluke app does do anything malicious, but the fact that it could is worrying.

So in conclusion… go Mooshimeter!
