inUnpopular opinion: I think the new wireless sensors are a pain for old brick buildings
Honestly, been there with those old brick places. Tbh I just stopped trying to force wireless-only in them. I keep a few hardwired sensors on the truck for exactly this. Run a thin wire in the basement or attic to a keypad or a single wired contact for the worst spot, use it as a bridge. It saves a whole day of fighting signals and the client never knows the difference.
