Hi,
If you are looking for an inexpensive termo/hygro sensor, take a look at the 5 Channel Conrad TS34C at
http://www.conrad.se. Its on sale for 129:- SEK (just slightly more expensive at
http://www.conrad.com 17.95€)
Not as good (probably) as the 3 channel OS THGR238N, but less expensive. It uses AA batteries and not AAA batteries as the OS THGR810 does
It works great with the rfxtrx433!

I have 5 of them, btw. I also use the 433MHz Antenna from Conrad

Unfortunately, I realized too late this topic is about a RfxTrx and not a RfxLAN.
I bought 2 TS34C's but they are not supported by rfxLAN (
http://www.rfxcom.com/transceivers.htm)
Is it possible rfxLAN will support this sensor in the future?

Sorry about that, but you still have the possibility to invest in one rfxtrx433
The signal stength from the TS34C are not as good as from my Oregon Scientific THGR238N (but not worse then from my THGR810´s) and they are probably not as accurate regarding the humidity measurements as any of my Oregon sensors, but they are much cheaper! With my Conrad antenna (recommended by Bert), the lower output is not really a problem for me...
