RUSTPOCKET

R101

The alert reaches you when the game does not

Raids, deaths, alarms, events, monument timers, nightfall, vending restocks. Free through Telegram, or SMS and a voice call through Twilio when it genuinely cannot wait.

The R101 instrument for Alerts, mounted on its plate and running.
Telegram, at no extra cost
The default path is free. Point R101 at a Telegram chat and the alerts arrive there, with no per-message bill attached.
A phone call, when it matters
Bring your own Twilio credentials and an alarm can ring your actual phone. Some things do not deserve a notification badge.
It stays awake so it can tell you
RustPocket keeps the PC awake for as long as it stays connected, and reconnects on its own when the server drops. An alert system that goes to sleep is not an alert system.
What actually triggers one
Raids, teammate deaths, smart-alarm trips, map events, monument and Cargo timers, nightfall, tool-cupboard upkeep running low, a watched player coming online, a teammate logging in, a new vending machine appearing, and a restock on a machine you are watching. Each goes to Telegram for free, or to SMS and a voice call through your own Twilio account for the ones that cannot wait until morning.
Alarms that arrive even when the link is down
Smart alarms and teammate logins also come in as Facepunch push notifications - the same channel the official phone app rides. A server restart or a dropped connection is exactly when a raid starts, and it is no longer a blind spot: the push lands as a desktop notification, and RustPocket dedupes it against the live link so nothing fires twice.
The what-did-I-miss list
One click pulls your official Rust+ notification history straight from Facepunch - deaths, pairing requests, logins, with timestamps. Coming back after a day away starts with a list, not a guess.

About Alerts

Does Telegram cost anything?

No. Telegram alerts are included in the subscription with no per-message charge. SMS and voice go through your own Twilio account, so those are billed by Twilio at their rates, not by us.

What happens if my server disconnects overnight?

It reconnects on its own and refreshes anything that went stale while it was quiet. It is built to sit running for days, which is the only way a raid alert is worth having.
