二、Qt IoT 核心技术

1. 通信协议实现

// MQTT 通信示例
#include <QtMqtt/QMqttClient>

class IoTClient : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit IoTClient(QObject *parent = nullptr) : QObject(parent)
    {
        m_client = new QMqttClient(this);
        m_client->setHostname("mqtt.example.com");
        m_client->setPort(1883);
        
        connect(m_client, &QMqttClient::connected, this, &IoTClient::onConnected);
        connect(m_client, &QMqttClient::disconnected, this, &IoTClient::onDisconnected);
        connect(m_client, &QMqttClient::messageReceived, this, &IoTClient::onMessageReceived);
    }
    
    void connectToBroker() {
        m_client->connectToHost();
    }
    
    void publishMessage(const QString &topic, const QByteArray &message) {
        if (m_client->state() == QMqttClient::ConnectedState) {
            auto subscription = m_client->publish(QMqttTopicName(topic), message);
            if (!subscription) {
                qDebug() << "发布消息失败";
            }
        }
    }
    
    void subscribeToTopic(const QString &topic) {
        if (m_client->state() == QMqttClient::ConnectedState) {
            auto subscription = m_client->subscribe(QMqttTopicFilter(topic));
            if (!subscription) {
                qDebug() << "订阅主题失败";
            }
        }
    }
    
signals:
    void connected();
    void disconnected();
    void messageReceived(const QString &topic, const QByteArray &message);
    
private slots:
    void onConnected() {
        qDebug() << "已连接到 MQTT 代理";
        emit connected();
    }
    
    void onDisconnected() {
        qDebug() << "已断开 MQTT 连接";
        emit disconnected();
    }
    
    void onMessageReceived(const QByteArray &message, const QMqttTopicName &topic) {
        qDebug() << "收到消息:" << topic.name() << message;
        emit messageReceived(topic.name(), message);
    }
    
private:
    QMqttClient *m_client;
};

2. 传感器数据采集

// 温度传感器读取示例
#include <QFile>
#include <QTextStream>

class TemperatureSensor : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(double temperature READ temperature NOTIFY temperatureChanged)
    
public:
    explicit TemperatureSensor(QObject *parent = nullptr) : QObject(parent)
    {
        m_timer = new QTimer(this);
        connect(m_timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, &TemperatureSensor::readTemperature);
        m_timer->start(1000);  // 每秒读取一次
    }
    
    double temperature() const {
        return m_temperature;
    }
    
signals:
    void temperatureChanged(double temperature);
    
private slots:
    void readTemperature() {
        QFile file("/sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0048/iio:device0/in_temp_input");
        if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text)) {
            QTextStream in(&file);
            QString line = in.readLine();
            bool ok;
            double temp = line.toDouble(&ok) / 1000.0;  // 转换为摄氏度
            if (ok && temp != m_temperature) {
                m_temperature = temp;
                emit temperatureChanged(m_temperature);
            }
            file.close();
        }
    }
    
private:
    QTimer *m_timer;
    double m_temperature = 0.0;
};

3. 设备控制实现

// GPIO 控制示例
#include <QFile>
#include <QDebug>

class GPIODevice : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_PROPERTY(bool state READ state WRITE setState NOTIFY stateChanged)
    
public:
    explicit GPIODevice(int gpioPin, QObject *parent = nullptr) 
        : QObject(parent), m_gpioPin(gpioPin)
    {
        exportGpio();
        setDirection(true);  // 设置为输出
    }
    
    ~GPIODevice() {
        unexportGpio();
    }
    
    bool state() const {
        return m_state;
    }
    
    void setState(bool state) {
        if (m_state != state) {
            m_state = state;
            writeValue(state ? "1" : "0");
            emit stateChanged(state);
        }
    }
    
private:
    bool exportGpio() {
        QFile exportFile("/sys/class/gpio/export");
        if (exportFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
            exportFile.write(QString::number(m_gpioPin).toUtf8());
            exportFile.close();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    bool unexportGpio() {
        QFile unexportFile("/sys/class/gpio/unexport");
        if (unexportFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
            unexportFile.write(QString::number(m_gpioPin).toUtf8());
            unexportFile.close();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    bool setDirection(bool output) {
        QFile directionFile(QString("/sys/class/gpio/gpio%1/direction").arg(m_gpioPin));
        if (directionFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
            directionFile.write(output ? "out" : "in");
            directionFile.close();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
    bool writeValue(const QString &value) {
        QFile valueFile(QString("/sys/class/gpio/gpio%1/value").arg(m_gpioPin));
        if (valueFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
            valueFile.write(value.toUtf8());
            valueFile.close();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }
    
private:
    int m_gpioPin;
    bool m_state = false;
    
signals:
    void stateChanged(bool state);
};

三、Qt IoT 应用开发

1. QML 界面与 IoT 数据集成

// IoT 监控界面示例
import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15

ApplicationWindow {
    id: window
    visible: true
    width: 800
    height: 600
    title: "IoT 监控系统"
    
    // 导入 C++ 模块
    property var temperatureSensor: TemperatureSensor {}
    property var relayControl: GPIODevice { gpioPin: 17 }
    property var mqttClient: IoTClient {}
    
    Column {
        anchors.fill: parent
        spacing: 20
        padding: 20
        
        // 温度显示
        GroupBox {
            title: "温度传感器"
            width: parent.width
            height: 100
            
            Row {
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                spacing: 20
                
                Text {
                    text: "当前温度:"
                    font.pointSize: 14
                }
                
                Text {
                    text: temperatureSensor.temperature + "°C"
                    font.pointSize: 24
                    color: temperatureSensor.temperature > 30 ? "red" : "black"
                }
            }
        }
        
        // 继电器控制
        GroupBox {
            title: "设备控制"
            width: parent.width
            height: 100
            
            Row {
                anchors.centerIn: parent
                spacing: 20
                
                Button {
                    text: relayControl.state ? "关闭设备" : "打开设备"
                    onClicked: relayControl.state = !relayControl.state
                }
                
                Text {
                    text: relayControl.state ? "设备状态: 开启" : "设备状态: 关闭"
                    font.pointSize: 14
                }
            }
        }
        
        // MQTT 状态
        GroupBox {
            title: "MQTT 连接"
            width: parent.width
            height: 150
            
            Column {
                anchors.fill: parent
                spacing: 10
                padding: 10
                
                Row {
                    spacing: 10
                    
                    Button {
                        text: mqttClient.connected ? "断开连接" : "连接"
                        onClicked: mqttClient.connected ? mqttClient.disconnectFromHost() : mqttClient.connectToHost()
                    }
                    
                    Text {
                        text: mqttClient.connected ? "已连接" : "未连接"
                        color: mqttClient.connected ? "green" : "red"
                    }
                }
                
                TextArea {
                    id: messageLog
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    readOnly: true
                    text: "MQTT 消息日志:\n"
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    // 处理 MQTT 消息
    Connections {
        target: mqttClient
        onMessageReceived: {
            messageLog.text += "[" + new Date().toLocaleTimeString() + "] " + topic + ": " + message + "\n"
        }
    }
    
    // 启动时连接 MQTT
    Component.onCompleted: {
        mqttClient.connectToHost()
        mqttClient.subscribeToTopic("iot/devices/#")
    }
}

四、Qt IoT 安全机制

1. 通信加密

// 配置 MQTT TLS 连接
void configureTlsConnection(QMqttClient *client) {
    QSslConfiguration sslConf;
    
    // 加载 CA 证书
    QFile caFile(":/certs/ca.crt");
    if (caFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
        QSslCertificate caCert(&caFile);
        sslConf.addCaCertificate(caCert);
        caFile.close();
    }
    
    // 加载客户端证书和私钥
    QFile certFile(":/certs/client.crt");
    QFile keyFile(":/certs/client.key");
    
    if (certFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly) && keyFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly)) {
        QSslCertificate cert(&certFile);
        QSslKey key(&keyFile, QSsl::Rsa, QSsl::Pem, QSsl::PrivateKey, "your-key-password");
        
        sslConf.setLocalCertificate(cert);
        sslConf.setPrivateKey(key);
        
        certFile.close();
        keyFile.close();
    }
    
    sslConf.setPeerVerifyMode(QSslSocket::VerifyPeer);
    sslConf.setProtocol(QSsl::TlsV1_2);
    
    client->setSslConfiguration(sslConf);
    client->setPort(8883);  // TLS 端口
}

2. 设备认证

// 设备身份验证示例
bool authenticateDevice(const QString &deviceId, const QString &authToken) {
    // 从安全存储读取设备密钥
    QSettings settings("SecureStorage", "DeviceAuth");
    QString storedToken = settings.value(deviceId).toString();
    
    // 验证令牌
    if (storedToken.isEmpty() || storedToken != authToken) {
        qWarning() << "设备认证失败:" << deviceId;
        return false;
    }
    
    // 检查令牌有效期
    QDateTime expiresAt = settings.value(deviceId + "_expires").toDateTime();
    if (expiresAt.isValid() && expiresAt < QDateTime::currentDateTime()) {
        qWarning() << "设备令牌已过期:" << deviceId;
        return false;
    }
    
    qInfo() << "设备认证成功:" << deviceId;
    return true;
}

五、Qt IoT 部署与管理

1. 设备固件更新

// 固件更新流程
class FirmwareUpdater : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
    Q_ENUMS(UpdateStatus)
    
public:
    enum UpdateStatus {
        Idle,
        Checking,
        Downloading,
        Verifying,
        Installing,
        Rebooting,
        Success,
        Failed
    };
    
    explicit FirmwareUpdater(QObject *parent = nullptr) : QObject(parent)
    {
        // 初始化更新状态
        m_status = Idle;
    }
    
    // 检查更新
    void checkForUpdates() {
        m_status = Checking;
        emit statusChanged(m_status);
        
        // 发送请求到更新服务器
        QNetworkRequest request(QUrl("https://update.example.com/check"));
        request.setHeader(QNetworkRequest::ContentTypeHeader, "application/json");
        
        QJsonObject requestData;
        requestData["deviceId"] = deviceId();
        requestData["currentVersion"] = currentVersion();
        
        QNetworkReply *reply = m_networkManager.post(request, QJsonDocument(requestData).toJson());
        connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::finished, this, &FirmwareUpdater::onCheckFinished);
    }
    
    // 下载更新
    void downloadUpdate(const QUrl &url) {
        m_status = Downloading;
        emit statusChanged(m_status);
        
        QNetworkRequest request(url);
        QNetworkReply *reply = m_networkManager.get(request);
        
        connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::downloadProgress, this, &FirmwareUpdater::onDownloadProgress);
        connect(reply, &QNetworkReply::finished, this, &FirmwareUpdater::onDownloadFinished);
    }
    
    // 安装更新
    void installUpdate() {
        m_status = Installing;
        emit statusChanged(m_status);
        
        // 执行更新安装脚本
        QProcess::execute("/opt/firmware/install.sh", {m_downloadPath});
        
        m_status = Rebooting;
        emit statusChanged(m_status);
        
        // 重启设备
        QTimer::singleShot(5000, []() {
            QProcess::execute("reboot");
        });
    }
    
signals:
    void statusChanged(UpdateStatus status);
    void updateAvailable(const QJsonObject &updateInfo);
    void updateNotAvailable();
    void downloadProgress(qint64 bytesReceived, qint64 bytesTotal);
    void errorOccurred(const QString &errorMessage);
    
private slots:
    void onCheckFinished() {
        // 处理更新检查结果
        // ...
    }
    
    void onDownloadProgress(qint64 bytesReceived, qint64 bytesTotal) {
        emit downloadProgress(bytesReceived, bytesTotal);
    }
    
    void onDownloadFinished() {
        // 处理下载完成
        // ...
    }
    
private:
    QNetworkAccessManager m_networkManager;
    UpdateStatus m_status;
    QString m_downloadPath;
};
