I agree. The ZigBee protocol is encrypted, but a replay attack is probably still possible. Another advantage of a hard wired panel is that it's not dependent on the Zigbee network being operational, and could be operated on the backup battery for days.

I think many systems fall through if the threat model includes someone watching you and doing a replay attack. But I'd still prefer a hardwired panel TBD. It's just not very easy to retrofit, with hidden cables.
