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.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

```yaml
