Couldn't have said it better myself. Modern wireless is generally supervised
well, so such things as interference or sensor low batteries can be reported
to the station.

Personally, I only use wireless where I can't get a wire economically.
Wireless generally IS getting much better than it used to be, although it
definately does require more service. I've now gone so far as to standardize
on a panel with integrated receiver (Spectra 1759MG) so if the client does
ever need any wireless components, it's a simple, low cost addition.
