Can we talk about those wireless glass break sensors
I was totally against them for years, thought they were just asking for false alarms... but I put a set of those Honeywell 5853 units in a big old house in Savannah last month, and they've been solid. The homeowner has three giant windows and a skylight, and not a single false trip in 30 days. What's your take on the range claims, though? I'm still a little nervous about putting one at the far end of a long room.

Solid for 30 days" is what got me to try them too, after my old ones were a total joke. I'd still test that long room range with a broom handle before fully trusting it.

The broom handle test is smart, but I wonder about the angle of the sensors over time. If they shift even a little bit, that long room range might not work right. It's the kind of thing you wouldn't notice until it fails.
