Had to pick between a wired and wireless retrofit for a 1980s house

Client in a historic district wanted a full system but no new holes in the plaster. Could run new wire through the attic crawl space, a two day job. Or use wireless sensors with battery changes every year. Went with wireless to keep the walls clean. Anyone else find wireless gear holds up okay in those old brick places?

Why do we always pick convenience over doing the job right the first time?

We see it with fast food, cheap furniture, and quick fixes everywhere.

That brick and plaster combo can really mess with a signal. How many wireless sensors did you end up installing?
