Raid detection
Smart Alarms become critical raid events with a 90-second cooldown so a flapping alarm doesn't spam.
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.message in team chat (configurable in Settings). - 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 who has the Expo push token registered.
90-second cooldown per alarm
A single Smart Alarm flapping (someone repeatedly opening a triggering door) would otherwise hammer chat. Each individual alarm has a 90-second cooldown — subsequent triggers within that window are dropped for that alarm, but every other alarm fires independently.
Disabling
Toggle “Raid alerts” off in Settings if you want the alarm timeline without the in-chat ping (e.g. for solo wipes where you don't want the bot to broadcast your alarm config to teammates over team chat).
