Control Rust Smart Switches from Discord
Flipping a Smart Switch usually means opening the Rust+ app and tapping through it. rustchad adds a /switch command in Discord instead, so you can list and toggle switches without leaving the chat you're already in.
How it works
- 1
Pair your Rust+ server
Sign up, connect Discord, and pair through the same in-game Rust+ app flow you already know.
- 2
Wire up a Smart Switch
Set one up in Rust like normal and give it a clear name - "Turret Wall", "Farm Lights" - so it's easy to pick out later.
- 3
Run /switch in Discord
/switch list shows every switch on your server with its current state; /switch toggle flips one on or off.

What you get
/switch list
See every Smart Switch on your paired server, with its current on/off state, right from a Discord slash command.
/switch toggle
Flip a switch on, off, or just toggle it, without opening Rust+ or being logged into the game.
Works from the dashboard too
The same switches show up in the web dashboard if you'd rather click than type a command.
Device grouping
Premium lets you group switches - farm lights, turret walls, whatever makes sense for your base - instead of one flat list of 15 devices.
FAQ
- Do I need to be online in Rust to toggle a switch?
- No - toggling goes through your paired Rust+ connection in the background, whether or not you're logged into the game.
- Can I control switches from the web dashboard too?
- Yes - the dashboard lists the same switches and lets you toggle them with a click.
- How many switches can I connect?
- Free covers 1 smart device per server. Premium raises that to 15, shared between switches and alarms.
- Can I group switches together?
- Grouping smart devices - so a set of switches shows up together instead of in one flat list - is a Premium feature.
