Ran into an old school installer at a supply house yesterday who made me question my whole approach
He saw me loading up a bunch of wireless sensors and just shook his head, said 'son, you're gonna be back here in 18 months replacing batteries on half of those.' Then he started rattling off stats about false alarms from low battery chirps that get systems yanked. Has anyone else noticed a drop in reliability with newer wireless gear compared to hardwired systems from 10 years ago?

@emery_flores my neighbor hardwired his whole house in 2007 and his system still chirps louder than my wireless ones.

Yeah he might have a point honestly?

Totally get where you're coming from. I've been in that spot myself and yeah, sometimes the simple take is the right one. Your gut is probably onto something here.
