Wireless sensors in next-gen security systems mean DIY’ers don’t need to run wires or worry about repositioning sensors. The majority of security systems sold in the last 10-20 years have only had 2-3 security sensors.

Some systems can even be tied together remotely, for example to monitor your vacation home via the controller in your primary residence. Remote-controlled thermostats are likewise on the way.”]
