Quickstart

Five steps from a fresh account to your first working automation.

1. Create an account

Register with a username and password. Every account starts on the Free tier -- upgrade any time with a coupon code from your Account page.

2. Install and log in

Launch Rustomat. If you're on the auto-updater, it logs you in automatically once you've signed in once -- otherwise, paste the API key from your Account page into the overlay's login screen the first time.

3. Pair with Rust+

Rustomat sees your smart devices, team, and map the same way the official Rust+ companion app does -- through the same pairing. If you haven't already paired this Steam account with the server you're playing on, do that from in-game (Menu → Rust+) once; Rustomat picks it up from there.

4. Pick your active server

Every server you've paired with shows up in the Servers tab. Only one is "active" at a time -- that's the one the Devices, Automations, and Vending tabs read from. Switch any time without losing anything set up on the others.

5. Build your first automation

Open the Automations tab and click + New Automation. Pick a trigger (e.g. "Smart Alarm triggers"), optionally a condition (e.g. "all teammates offline"), and one or more actions (e.g. "Discord Notification"). Save it -- it runs automatically from then on, no further setup needed. See Automations for the full When/If/Do model.
