Python library for communicating with Vanderbilt SPC alarm systems via the REST/websocket API provided by the SPC Web Gateway software made by Lundix IT. Using this library you can:

• Retrieve information for all alarm areas and zones.
• Change the alarm mode, i.e. arming and disarming of the alarm system.
• Get real-time updates when attributes of areas and zones change, e.g. if motion detector connected to the systems triggers or when the alarm goes off.
