The `totalconnect` platform provides connectivity with the Honeywell TotalConnect alarm systems used by many alarm companies.

If you have issues running this component, you may require "libxml2-dev" and "libxmlsec1-dev". To install these on Hassbian, run the command `apt install libxml2-dev libxmlsec1-dev` with sudo

To enable this, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: totalconnect
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD
```

Configuration variables:

- **name** (*Optional*): Name of device in Home Assistant.
- **username** (*Required*): Username used to sign into the TotalConnect app/web client.
- **password** (*Required*): Password used to sign into the TotalConnect app/web client.
