Detailed Description#

QBluetoothDeviceInfo provides information about a Bluetooth device’s name, address and class of device.

class PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo#

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo(address, name, classOfDevice)

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo(other)

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo(uuid, name, classOfDevice)

Parameters:

Constructs an invalid QBluetoothDeviceInfo object.

Constructs a QBluetoothDeviceInfo object with Bluetooth address address, device name name and the encoded class of device classOfDevice.

The classOfDevice parameter is encoded in the following format

Bits

Size

Description

0 - 1

2

Unused, set to 0.

2 - 7

6

Minor device class.

8 - 12

5

Major device class.

13 - 23

11

Service class.

Constructs a QBluetoothDeviceInfo that is a copy of other.

Constructs a QBluetoothDeviceInfo object with unique uuid, device name name and the encoded class of device classOfDevice.

This constructor is required for Low Energy devices on macOS and iOS. CoreBluetooth API hides addresses and provides unique UUIDs to identify a device. This UUID is not the same thing as a service UUID and is required to work later with CoreBluetooth API and discovered devices.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.address()#
Return type:

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothAddress

Returns the address of the device.

Note

On iOS and macOS this address is invalid. Instead deviceUuid() should be used. Those two platforms do not expose Bluetooth addresses for found Bluetooth devices and utilize unique device identifiers.

See also

deviceUuid()

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.coreConfigurations()#
Return type:

Combination of QBluetoothDeviceInfo.CoreConfiguration

Returns the configuration of the device. If device configuration is not set, basic rate device configuration will be returned.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.deviceUuid()#
Return type:

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothUuid

Returns a unique identifier for a Bluetooth device without an address.

In general, this uuid is invalid on every platform but macOS and iOS. It is used as a workaround for those two platforms as they do not provide Bluetooth addresses for found Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Every other platform uses address() instead.

See also

setDeviceUuid()

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.isCached()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if the QBluetoothDeviceInfo object is created from cached data.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.isValid()#
Return type:

bool

Returns true if the QBluetoothDeviceInfo object is valid, otherwise returns false.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.majorDeviceClass()#
Return type:

MajorDeviceClass

Returns the major device class of the device.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.manufacturerData()#
Return type:

.QMultiHashquint16,QByteArray

Returns the complete set of all manufacturer data from advertisement packets.

Some devices may provide multiple manufacturer data entries per manufacturer ID. An example might be a Bluetooth Low Energy device that sends a different manufacturer data via advertisement packets and scan response packets respectively. Therefore the returned hash table may have multiple entries per manufacturer ID or hash key.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.manufacturerData(manufacturerId)
Parameters:

manufacturerId – int

Return type:

PySide6.QtCore.QByteArray

Returns the data associated with the given manufacturerId.

Manufacturer data is defined by the Supplement to the Bluetooth Core Specification and consists of two segments:

  • Manufacturer specific identifier code from the Assigned Numbers Company Identifiers document

  • Sequence of arbitrary data octets

The interpretation of the data octets is defined by the manufacturer specified by the company identifier.

Note

The remote device may provide multiple data entries per manufacturerId. This function only returns the first entry. If all entries are needed use manufacturerData() which returns a multi hash.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.manufacturerIds()#
Return type:

.list of quint16

Returns all manufacturer IDs from advertisement packets attached to this device information.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.minorDeviceClass()#

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.setCached(cached)#
Parameters:

cached – bool

Used by the system to set the cached flag if the QBluetoothDeviceInfo is created from cached data. Cached information may not be as accurate as data read from an active device.

PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothDeviceInfo.setDeviceUuid(uuid)#
Parameters:

uuid – PySide6.QtBluetooth.QBluetoothUuid

Sets the unique identifier uuid for Bluetooth devices, that do not have addresses. This happens on macOS and iOS, where the CoreBluetooth API hides addresses, but provides UUIDs to identify devices/peripherals.
