Hardwired vs wireless for an old brick building - I picked wrong
Had to choose between hardwired and wireless sensors for a 1920s brick apartment building last month. I went with wireless to save on labor, but those thick walls killed half the signal range. Ended up having to install repeaters in 3 units anyway, which ate up all the savings. Anyone dealt with signal issues in old masonry buildings?

Buddy of mine had the same problem in a 1940s building. He used wireless and had to put a repeater in the hallway just to get the front door sensor to talk to the panel.
