Raid detection
Smart Alarms become critical raid events with a per-alarm cooldown so a flapping alarm doesn't spam chat.
When any Smart Alarm paired to your server fires, Rust Pulse:
- Posts a
Raid alert: <alarm name> triggered. Check beds, peaks, externals, and camera coverage now.line in team chat. - Pins the event on the dashboard's alarm timeline.
- Optionally pings your Discord raid channel (see channel routing).
- Optionally fires a mobile push to every team member with a registered push token.
All four of those are independent toggles — see Settings — so you can have, say, in-game chat off but Discord and phone push on.
Per-alarm cooldown
A single Smart Alarm that flaps (someone repeatedly tripping the same door) would otherwise hammer chat. Each alarm has a 90-second cooldown — subsequent triggers within that window are dropped for that alarm only. Every other alarm fires independently.
Naming matters
The bot uses the alarm's in-game name in the raid message — so set meaningful names in the Rust+ app: "Front Door", "TC Room", "Roof Hatch". A wall of generic "Smart Alarm" pings during a raid is much less useful than a labelled feed.
Turning it off
If you want the alarm timeline on the dashboard but no chat ping (e.g. for solo wipes where you don't want the bot broadcasting your alarm config over team chat), toggle "Raid alerts in team chat" off in Settings while leaving "Smart Alarm timeline" on.
