Showerthought: Why I was dead wrong about powerline adapters for alarm panels

I spent 5 years telling customers to hardwire everything. Told a guy last Tuesday his basement panel would never work with a powerline adapter. He insisted on trying it anyway for a $200 install. That was 3 months ago and the thing hasn't dropped once. I still hate them for high-security jobs but for basic residential stuff they actually hold up better than I thought. Anyone else had a tool or trick they trashed for years then changed their mind on?

Wired is still better but powerline has gotten way more reliable than people give it credit for.

Yeah I'll be honest I used to trash powerline adapters too but this is making me reconsider them for basic setups.
