PSA: Saw a DIY job in a Phoenix strip mall that made me rethink wireless sensors.

Was grabbing coffee at a strip mall in Phoenix and noticed a new smoke shop had a motion sensor just stuck to the glass door with double-sided tape. The whole system looked like a box store kit. I used to think wireless was fine for basic stuff, but seeing that sensor ready to fall off changed my mind. What's the worst DIY install you've ever seen on a commercial job?

Balanced on a drop ceiling tile" sounds like it was at least out of the way.

Lol that's nothing. Buddy of mine found a whole control panel just balanced on top of a drop ceiling tile once.

That's wild. I once saw a whole server just sitting on an office chair in a hallway.
