## What is Bluelab Pulse?

Connect to a Bluelab Pulse Meter for fast, accurate nutrient (EC), moisture and temperature measurements directly from the root zone, in soils, potting mixes, coco blends and other growing media types.

The Bluelab Pulse app syncs real-time measurements direct from the Bluelab Pulse Meter for you to view, analyse, store and export your root zone data.

Use the Bluelab Pulse app to:

• VIEW MEASUREMENTS: View live updates on screen as you take measurements with the Pulse Meter. Take measurements from the button on Pulse Meter, or in the app. A single button press or tap gives you pore conductivity (nutrient EC), % moisture content (volumetric or % of max water holding capacity), and temperature.

• TRACK MEASUREMENTS: View historic measurements for moisture, nutrient (EC) and temperature all time and date stamped. See your measurement history at a glance, identify trends, manage root zone performance, and see the results of your adjustments. 

• RECORD NOTES: Quickly add notes to the measurement history and track useful information such as measurement location, plant observations or operational task reminders. 

• MOVE FASTER: Set target nutrient and moisture ranges and quickly send to Pulse Meter. Use the Blink™ range indicators on Pulse Meter to quickly check if the measurement was in or out-of-range. Use the app to dive into the detail.

• SYNC WIRELESSLY: Use Pulse Meter without the app to capture fast measurements and get quick feedback with Blink™. When back in range, Pulse Meter automatically syncs all new measurement data to the Pulse app.

• CONFIGURE PULSE METER: Select the medium type you will be measuring in from the pre-set options in the app. Update Pulse Meter on-the-fly as you move between medium types. 

• CALIBRATE & OPTIMISE IRRIGATION: Calibrate Pulse Meter to the maximum water holding capacity of specific growing mediums for a more meaningful scale between maximum water holding capacity and the wilting point. Follow the simple in-app process to calibrate and store custom media calibrations. 

• GRAB & GO: Quickly pair to any Pulse Meter and get measuring 

• NOTIFICATIONS: Receive measurements to the lock-screen with customisable notification sounds.

• EXPORT: Export all your measurement data to a .csv for further analysis.

• IMPROVED CONNECTIVITY: New app and firmware improve connection stability

### 1/5 — Works 20% of the time.

*2026-08-21, version 2.2.9*

Often just continuously throws random numbers out when measuring. I’ve calibrated countless times, new batteries, multiple different phones, you name it. It’s almost great but falls short of good.

### 1/5 — Useless, useless

*2024-08-29, version 2.2.8*

I purchased the Bluelab Pulse on recommendation from a crop science consultant. It is not inexpensive but I thought it would be worth the cost. So the equipment arrived on mail order and the instructions seemed to be simple. That was where the nightmare began! The online registration as a user kept giving me error messages and refusing to accept my log in. Numerous attempts to solve this problem with the ‘tech services’ team were frustrating and hopelessly unhelpful. I am now stuck with a useless piece of equipment and the hassle of trying to get them to take it back. If what I have been through so far is any indication that is also going to be a major challenge. Don’t buy a Bluelab Pulse!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-08-26, version 2.2.7*

Never can get it to work.

### 5/5 — Love the product app just needs a little update

*2023-08-07*

Been using it for years, unreal product! As of recent when you go to add a comment to the testing the app won’t allow you to

### 5/5 — Muy bueno

*2022-08-23, version 2.1.0*

Es mucho mejor que abra con el bluetooth

### 2/5 — EC levels

*2021-09-02, version 2.1.0*

My worked the whole year around but since about a week ago it doesn’t want to pick up the Ec levels in my soil. Please help

### 4/5 — Works well, waiting for Shortcuts integration

*2021-07-15, version 2.1.0*

Would be great if it worked with iOS Shortcuts so that I can add NFC tags to different soils and use them to configure and also to add notes.

### 5/5 — Paired first try

*2021-03-24, version 2.0.6*

Apparently they fixed the app because it paired first try for me

### 2/5 — Has a coir setting but not rockwool? What gives?

*2021-03-11, version 2.0.6*

We want to measure rockwool moisture and you have soil, solution, and coir as options. Rockwool is extremely popular I recommend supporting that medium!

### 1/5 — Mal

*2021-02-03, version 2.0.6*

La app funciona bastante mal, le cuesta enlaza con pulse. Ademas otra cosa pesima que no puedes trabajar con pulse si no estas logeado como usuario. Ahora mismo se les ha caido el servidor, y tengo un cacharro inutil que no sirve para nada.
