I finally saw a wireless sensor fail because of a microwave oven.
It was at a bakery in Tacoma, their glass break kept going offline every afternoon. Turns out the old microwave in the break room was blasting the 2.4 GHz band. Anyone have a go-to shielded sensor for kitchens now?

How many other weird glitches are just old microwaves messing with stuff?

Yeah, we had the exact same problem at a deli last year. Their motion sensor would just die during the lunch rush. Swapped it out for a hardwired sensor instead of wireless, ran the cable through some conduit for extra shielding. It was a bit more work to install, but it fixed the issue completely. No more random drop-offs when someone heats up their soup.
