Arjay12345 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hi all I have one last opportunity to add cables under floorboards before permanent flooring goes down I want to add motion sensors across the house (approx 18 units) to primarily control lighting but then also do other funky stuff. I was going to hardwire everything, but given that was still going to cause some major agro, it got me thinking about zigbee options. I have checked online and it looks like Card Access and NYCE both do units. Anyone used either of these? any brand you'd recommend, or even other brands? Or should I go hardwired? Thanks...

JerryR Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I have both in my house (wireless and wired) and I can say the hardwired over time tend to be more reliable. A little more headache to start, but then you don't have to worry about batteries going out or a wireless motion sensor going into sleep mode and not catching movement at the time you want. Both work perfectly fine the vast majority of the time, I just have a couple of iffy moments from time to time with the wireless ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
