It handles OAuth authentication with TotalConnect servers and exposes methods to arm (away, stay, night modes), disarm, and query the status of alarm panels and individual zones. The package depends on pycryptodome for cryptographic operations and requests-oauthlib for OAuth token management.\n\nThe library is most useful for home automation scenarios where you want to control your alarm system programmatically or monitor zone faults (open sensors). It requires an active TotalConnect account and internet connectivity to both your alarm hardware and the TotalConnect cloud service. Zone fault detection requires that \"Sensor Activities\" be enabled in your TotalConnect account, which may incur an extra fee from your monitoring company.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and is MIT-licensed. Install it if you need programmatic control of a TotalConnect alarm system from Python\u2014particularly if you're building a Home Assistant integration or custom automation. The main constraint is that you must have an active TotalConnect account and reliable internet connectivity."},"id":"total-connect-client","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/total-connect-client","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/total-connect-client.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/total-connect-client/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-06","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"total-connect-client","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Interact with Total Connect 2 alarm systems"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":75492,"position":14706,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2026.7"}
