Noticed a huge difference after switching to wire-free sensors on a big job

I swapped out a whole house of wired door sensors for the new Honeywell 5800 series wireless ones last month on a 3000 square foot colonial. The install time went from about 8 hours down to just over 3, and I didn't have to run a single wire through the attic. Has anyone else tried these on a retrofit and seen that much time saved?

Buddy of mine cut his install time in half too on a similar sized house.

Wait, did they use the same method or just figure out a better workflow? That's awesome to hear though, honestly it's crazy how much time you can save once you get a good rhythm going. I had a similar thing happen on my last job, it was a ranch style house and I knocked it out way faster than my first few times. Once you stop overthinking every little step and just trust your prep work, the whole thing flows so much smoother.
