I want to send an sms or email when an alarm has been triggered (if system is armed) or there has been a "chime" in a zone (if system is not armed)

If you're asking whether or not the code as is can do that, then the answer is no. However, the server side has an event stream, which you can dump with the 'events' thing in the client to see. It's semi-immediate notification of events as they happen. Each zone will report when it is faulted, but you'd have to track the armed state of the partition that it's in yourself if you only want to trigger when the system is disarmed.

even if the system is not armed, a zone will still report when it's faulted (chime in my case) right?

Yup. I use it for turning on lights when I walk into the house/garage. It's instant enough for that to be quite satisfying such that I never use the light switch.
