First time using a laser level for sensor placement and I wish I did it sooner
I finally broke down and bought a Bosch cross line laser level from Home Depot last month. Used it yesterday on a tricky install for a two story house with vaulted ceilings. I needed to line up four motion sensors at exactly the same height across a big open living room. Normally I would measure and mark each one with a tape, but the laser made it so I could just snap a line across the whole wall. Got all four sensors mounted in about 20 minutes. I mean, it sounds dumb but it saved me so much back and forth. Any of you guys use lasers for your sensor layouts or do you still do it the old way?

Bosch lasers are decent but I still prefer my old tape measure for accuracy checks.

Ha, I feel that. My tape measure is way more honest with me than any laser ever has been.

Don't you think lasers are way more precise for long distances though?
