About Rootwire

Rootwire isn't another store that lists a thousand sensors and hopes you figure it out. It's built by someone who actually runs this gear — automating control, monitoring, and climate on real projects, and documenting what works and what doesn't.

Why we exist

Automating a project shouldn't mean stitching together fifteen browser tabs and guessing whether parts are compatible. We curate a focused catalog of microelectronics, sensors, relays, wiring, power, networking, and climate/environment gear — and we publish the build guides that show you how it fits together, each ending in a shoppable parts list.

What makes us different

• Curated, not cluttered. Every product earns its spot by making a real automation project easier. No dropshipped junk.
• Real expertise. Our guides come from actual installs and firmware work, not rewritten spec sheets.
• An AI build advisor. Tell it what you're building, and it specs the automation kit and catches compatibility mistakes before you buy.

Where we're headed

We're building in public, one subsystem at a time — automated control, scheduling, climate and CO₂ monitoring, dosing — and growing the catalog around what genuinely helps people automate their projects. If that's what you're building too, you're in the right place.
