I used to wire every single sensor with a full loop back to the panel, but now I just use a wireless retrofit kit for old hardwired doors.

It started when a client in a 1970s brick house needed their system updated but didn't want new holes drilled. I put a wireless transmitter in the existing door contact box and saved two hours of fishing wire. Anyone else find these kits worth the extra $30 per door?

Yeah, that "save two hours of fishing wire" part is the real win. I was totally against wireless for years, but avoiding that kind of headache is a game changer.

Used to think the same, but that's what sold me too.
