if I were paying someone I would want hard wired.  Anybody can lick and
stick wireless devices to the wall and in a few years they will be obsolete
just like computers.  With hard wired in a few years if something quits
working you still have the hardwired backbone that you can use and just
replace a relatively inexpensive sensor.  With wireless you are apt to have
to replace everything if the company that made the equipment has gone to
some newer technology and no longer supports the old stuff.
