Changed my mind about wireless sensors after a tough retrofit

I used to think wireless sensors were a joke. I figured they were only for homeowners who did not want to run wires. Then last month I had to retrofit a 1920s brick building downtown with no attic access and plaster walls everywhere. Running new wires would have taken a week and a lot of holes to patch. I gave in and used a Honeywell wireless kit with 4 door sensors and 3 motion detectors. Set it up in one afternoon and everything linked up clean. The range was better than I expected too. I still prefer hardwired for new construction but for old buildings I get it now. Has anyone else had a tough retrofit that changed how you work?

Plaster walls everywhere" - bet the wireless setup saved having to patch a single hole.

Dead right @calebrivera, same here. Ran all mine through the attic and saved my sanity.
