I have used Visonic Powercode kit.
You need an MCR-308 receiver, which provides you with 4 wireless zones
(it's expandable if you need more).
Then for doors/windows I've used the MCT-302T magnetic contacts (anti
tamper versions).

All works very well so far.

I haven't actually used a door station, though I might in future if I can
sneak a cable in for it. I never planned to use anything like Comfort
originally, just a "normal" alarm, so at first fix never put any
cabling in for door stations. In fact I just ran 6-core alarm cable to the
keypads, and was worried when I read the comfort installation manual which
says you must use shielded twisted pair (ie shielded cat5) otherwise you
might get interference on the keypad speakers & microphones - but seems
I've been lucky, works fine on the alarm cable.
