Log in with Discord

Start on the website and log in with Discord — this just tells us which account is yours. You won't see any bases or your live feed yet; that unlocks once you subscribe in the next step.

Add the bot to your Discord

Once you're subscribed, add Rust Sentinel to the Discord server you play with. You'll need Manage Server permission to add it — it builds its own alert channels automatically.

🔒 Subscribe first to unlock

The Add to Discord button appears here once your subscription is active.

4

Link your Steam account

This is a one‑time link so the bot can receive your server's pairing alerts. In Discord, run /link — it replies with a private link. Open it, then:

Add the free Rust Sentinel — Steam Linker helper to your browser. It only runs on the Steam login and this site, and never sees your password.

With the helper added, click Login with Steam on the link page. Your username and password are entered on Steam's own website — the helper and the bot never see them. When it says "Steam account linked!", you're done with this step.

5

Pair your server

Back in Discord, run /pair. Then jump in‑game on the server you play and press Esc → Rust+ → your current server → Pair within a few minutes. Pair the server, not a smart device. The bot confirms in Discord the moment it lands.

That's it — you'll start getting live alerts. 🎉

Optional extras: pair Smart Switches or Alarms with /pair-device · split alerts into channels with /channels · trigger real‑world lights/plugs with /webhook · let teammates take leader with /register-leader. See every command on the Commands page, and your live feed in the Control Centre.
