Total Connect for Home Assistant (built-in integration)

About

Total Connect is a built-in integration that connects Home Assistant to Total Connect 2.0 alarm systems through the vendor's cloud. It adds alarm control panels, a police emergency binary sensor, and buttons to bypass a zone, bypass all zones, or clear a bypass. Two extra arming actions are available, arm away instant and arm home instant, both of which arm with zero entry delay. An option can bypass zones automatically when they report low battery, though a bypassed zone is not monitored while the alarm is armed. Another option requires a user code to arm or disarm the alarm. Setup happens in the UI with the Total Connect username and password, plus usercodes for each location.

After setup

Auto bypass low batteryIf enabled, Total Connect zones will immediately be bypassed when they report low battery. This option helps because zones tend to report low battery in the middle of the night. The downside of this option is that when the alarm system is armed, the bypassed zone will not be monitored.
Require user to enter code for alarm actionsIf enabled, you must enter the user code to arm or disarm the alarm
