Unpopular opinion: I miss the old hardwired motion sensors

Five years ago I would spend half a day fishing wire for a single PIR. Now everything is wireless and I can do three zones in an hour. But I swear the old hardwired ones in my first installs from 2010 are still running without a single battery change. Anyone still running into buildings where you can actually use conduit?

My 2008 condo still has the original wired sensors lol

Honestly that's probably a good thing, those old wired sensors are built like tanks. I mean they might look dated but they just keep working forever. My buddy's place has them and he never gets false alarms like the wireless ones sometimes do. Kinda makes you wonder if new tech is always better.
