Remembering when I first saw a wireless sensor and thought it was just a gimmick, but after installing a full set in a 1920s craftsman with plaster walls, I realized they saved me over 8 hours of fishing cable.

What's the oldest building you've worked on where wireless gear was the clear winner?

Had a job in a stone farmhouse from the 1780s. Those walls were basically solid rock. Running wires would have meant days of destructive drilling and patching. Putting in a wireless motion sensor and door contacts took an afternoon. The homeowner was thrilled we didn't have to tear into the historic plaster.

Is it really that big of a deal to drill a few holes? I hear you, @davidh88, but sometimes a little patching is just part of the job. I've seen wireless gear fail more than once in thick old walls.
