Wired over wireless every time after a nightmare job last Saturday

I keep seeing guys push these all-in-one wireless systems for residential jobs. Easy install they say. No wires they say. Well I had a customer 3 months ago who wanted a full wireless setup. Paid extra for the top of the line Honeywell stuff. Fast forward to last Saturday, their neighbor got a new ham radio setup and it kept tripping the motion sensors randomly. Had to spend 6 hours troubleshooting and finally hardwire everything anyway. Now I only offer wired for anything that's not a rental. Has anyone else had interference issues with wireless gear?

Woah, that Honeywell gear isn't wireless, it's just wireless sensors that still need a wired panel.

That "wireless sensors only" thing is SUCH a frustrating bait and switch.
