AbstractZonedFeature QML Type

The AbstractZonedFeature is not directly accessible. The QML type provides base QML properties for each QML Vehicle feature like zone and error access. More...

Detailed Description

Property Documentation

availableZones : QStringList

Holds a list of the available zones.


discoveryMode : enumeration

Holds the mode that is used for the autoDiscovery

Available values are:

ConstantDescription
NoAutoDiscoveryNo auto discovery is done and the ServiceObject needs to be set manually.
AutoDiscoveryTries to find a production backend with a matching interface and falls back to a simulation backend if not found.
LoadOnlyProductionBackendsOnly tries to load a production backend with a matching interface.
LoadOnlySimulationBackendsOnly tries to load a simulation backend with a matching interface.

If necessary, auto discovery is started once the feature creation is completed.

Note: If you change this property after the feature is instantiated, make sure to call startAutoDiscovery() to search for a new service object.


discoveryResult : enumeration

The result of the last autoDiscovery

Available values are:

ConstantDescription
NoResultIndicates that no auto discovery was started because the feature has already assigned a valid ServiceObject.
ErrorWhileLoadingAn error has happened while searching for a backend with a matching interface.
ProductionBackendLoadedA production backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery.
SimulationBackendLoadedA simulation backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery.s

isInitialized : bool

Indicates whether the feature has been initialized with all the values from the backend.

The property is true once the backend sends the QIviFeatureInterface::initializationDone signal to indicate that all values have now been initialized with values from the backend.

See also isValid and QIviFeatureInterface::initializationDone.


isValid : bool

Indicates whether the feature is ready for use.

The property is true if the feature is ready to be used, otherwise false. Not being ready usually indicates that no suitable service object could be found, or that automatic discovery has not been triggered.

The backend still might not have sent all properties yet and is not fully initialized. Use isInitialized instead to know when the feature holds all correct values.

See also QIviServiceObject, discoveryMode, and isInitialized.


serviceObject : ServiceObject

Sets the service object for the feature.

As Features only expose the front API facing the developer, a service object implementing the actual function is required. This is usually retrieved through the auto discovery mechanism.

The setter for this property returns false if the QIviServiceObject is already set to this particular instance or the QIviServiceObject isn't accepted by the feature.

See also discoveryMode.


zone : QString

Name of the zone for this zoned feature.

The zone can be given in the feature initialization. This property lets you control a single specific feature zone only.

This property is only writable before the backend is connected. Once the backend is discovered and the component is verified to be valid, the zone is not writable anymore. It's not recommended to change the zone after initialization.

 ClimateControl {
     zone: "FrontLeft"
     onAirConditioningChanged: {
         // Take action on front left A/C changes.
     }
}

zoneAt : QVariantMap

Provides direct feature access to the given zone.

feature.zoneAt.FrontLeft

zones : QVariantList

Provides access to the feature zones model.

model: feature.zones

Method Documentation

enumeration startAutoDiscovery()

Performs an automatic discovery attempt.

The feature tries to locate a single ServiceObject that implements the required interface.

If no ServiceObject is found, the feature remains invalid. If more than one ServiceObject is found, the first instance is used.

This function returns either the type of the backend that was loaded; or an error.

If the discoveryMode is set to QIviAbstractFeature::NoAutoDiscovery, this function does nothing and returns QIviAbstractFeature::NoResult.

Return values are:

ConstantDescription
NoResultIndicates that no auto discovery was started because the feature already has a valid ServiceObject assigned.
ErrorWhileLoadingIndicates an error has occurred while searching for a backend with a matching interface.
ProductionBackendLoadedA production backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery.
SimulationBackendLoadedA simulation backend was loaded, as a result of auto discovery.
