PSA: A new batch of wireless sensors from a major supplier started failing after 6 months in the field.
I had to replace 14 of them in a single apartment building last week because they just stopped reporting, so what's your go-to brand for reliable wireless contacts now?

Ugh, that's a brutal failure rate. Everyone talks about brand, but have you checked if your building's layout or new materials are blocking the signal? I've seen metal studs or even a new elevator mess with cheaper sensors. Maybe run a site survey before swapping brands entirely. What's the actual failure cause they gave you?

Wait, they didn't even tell you why they're failing? That's insane. How are you supposed to fix anything if they just say "it broke" and send a bill? I'd be demanding a full report on every single dead unit before I even thought about buying more. Sounds like they're trying to hide something.

Right? My last supplier pulled the same thing, just kept sending replacements with zero explanation. Did you ever get them to admit what was wrong?
