Those wireless sensors seemed like a gimmick until I put them in a 1920s brick building downtown
I had a client with a historic building near the square, thick brick walls everywhere. Took me 30 minutes to mount one wired contact, so I grabbed some wireless units on a whim and they passed the 500-foot test clean through two floors. Anyone else had old construction make you switch things up?

Wired sensors are more reliable, wireless is just laziness.

I read somewhere that old buildings built before the 1940s have a lot of metal lath and plaster in the walls. It creates like a weird signal bouncing effect for wireless stuff, makes it go further than normal. That might be why your sensors worked so well. Cool trick if you know the building's bones are right for it.
