Servers Channel

The Server Channel lists all the paired Rust Servers. Given that you have setup your FCM Credentials properly, once you pair a Rust Server In-Game via ESC -> Rust+ -> Pair With Server, it should automatically appear in the servers channel. From there you can decide which server you want the bot to connect to by clicking the CONNECT button for that server.

The server embed displays a bunch of information. The title of the embed is the name of the server. The Battlemetrics Id is also displayed as well as if the server is streamer mode or not.

Smart Devices

Smart Devices is an umbrella term for three different devices, Smart Switches, Smart Alarms and Storage Monitors. To pair a Smart Device with rustplusplus, make sure you've setup the FCM-Credentials. When the FCM-Credentials are setup, you just need a wire tool and start pairing like you would with the Rust+ Companion App. Once you've paired your Smart Devices, they should appear in their respective Discord Text-Channel (switches, alarms or storagemonitors).

It is possible to change the display image for all the different Smart Devices by running the corresponding Slash Command. The Slash Commands to change Smart Device images is /switch, /alarm and /storagemonitor.

Storage Monitors Channel

Paired Storage Monitors can be located in the storagemonitors Text-Channel on Discord. Only Storage Monitors from the currently/last connected Rust server will be shown in the channel.

The images above is what paired Storage Monitors looks like in Discord. There are three types of Storage Monitors depending on where you place them. The first one is of type Tool Cupboard and works almost like the second and third type Large Wood Box and Vending Machine but with the difference that it shows upkeep. In both cases the Name of the Storage Monitors is Storage Monitor and can be located at E16. All Smart Devices have an Entity Id which is used to identify it.

UnreachableDevices

When a Smart Devices gets removed, the hoster loses building privilege to the Smart Device or rustplusplus just don't get a response from pinging it, the device is unreachable. In the image below you can see the Smart Switch Switch can no longer be reached. In this case its because of a force wipe, The Smart Switch does no longer exist. If the Smart Device is unreachable because the hoster lost building privilege, gaining building privilege again will make the device reachable again. But if the Smart Device was removed from where it was placed you might as well remove it from Discord, once a Smart Device gets removed the Entity Id is invalid. Even if you place the same Smart Device, the Entity Id will be different.

Activity Channel

The Activity Channel is used to display a bunch of different things such as team member joined/ left/ connected/ disconnected/ killed/ offline killed, Not found notifications from Smart Devices, Smart Alarm notifications, Decaying notifications, Tracker information, Server went down/up notifications, facepunch news, Battlemetrics notifications etc...
