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

This platform supports the following services: `alarm_arm_away`, `alarm_arm_home`, `alarm_arm_night` and `alarm_disarm`.

If you have issues running this component, you may require `libxml2-dev` and `libxmlsec1-dev` packages. 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.
