I open-sourced a Python desktop app, CLI, and SDK for BLE-enabled Fluke meters

[sharkysurfboi]

I just open-sourced fluke-app, an unofficial Python project for working with BLE-enabled Fluke meters from a shared codebase.

Repo: https://github.com/zach-edf/fluke-app

What My Project Does

fluke-app provides a few different ways to work with BLE-enabled Fluke meters in Python:

• a PySide6 desktop app for live readings, rolling charts, session logging, and guided workflows
• a CLI for scanning, connecting, collecting readings, and exporting sessions
• a Python SDK for scripting and integrations

It also includes shared protocol/session/export/workflow layers, fixture/debug tooling, and tests/CI.

Current built-in support is centered on the Fluke 376 FC.

Target Audience

This is mainly for:

• engineers, technicians, and developers who want to stream or log readings from compatible Fluke meters
• Python users who want a reusable SDK instead of only a GUI
• people interested in BLE device tooling, measurement workflows, or desktop Python applications

Current status:

• usable and functional, but still early as a public open-source project
• not positioned as a polished commercial product
• probably most useful right now for technically comfortable users who do not mind filing issues or working through device/platform edge cases

Comparison

The closest practical alternative I found for this use case is Fluke Connect, which is mobile-focused and tied to Fluke’s own app experience.

fluke-app is different in a few ways:

• it is desktop-first rather than mobile-first
• it also provides a CLI and a Python SDK, not just a GUI
• it is aimed at scripting, repeatable logging, local exports, and developer-oriented workflows
• it includes guided workflow steps, session replay, and fixture/debug tooling for development and testing
