Honeywell TotalConnect Alarm Control Panel	Instructions on how to integrate TotalConnect alarms into Home Assistant.	honeywell-tc.png	Alarm	0.42	/components/alarm_control_panel.totalconnect/

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.

The triggered state also provides a state attribute called triggered_source giving more detail on what triggered the alarm:

• Police/Medical is when sensors detected a burglar and/or a person pushed the Police or Medical button
• Fire/Smoke is when fire or smoke is detected, or a person pushed the Fire button
• Carbon Monoxide is when carbon monoxide is detected

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.

Configuration

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

totalconnect:
    username: YOUR_USERNAME
    password: YOUR_PASSWORD

{% configuration %} name: description: Name of device in Home Assistant. required: false type: string username: description: Username used to sign into the TotalConnect app/web client. required: true type: string password: description: Password used to sign into the TotalConnect app/web client. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

You are highly encouraged to create a Total Connect user account specifically for Home Assistant. It should not have full administrative privileges.
