The temperature (and wind) sensors worked out very well for me;I ordered a WMR80a along with the RFXtrx, and as soon as I plugged it in and brought up the plugin, it started telling me that it was detecting "unknown sensor on channel xxx, type yy. Define a <temperature, wind, rain,etc> device for this channel." I started adding devices typed as it recommended, and the OSI temperature/humidity sensor, wind sensor, and rain sensor came up and started giving me min, max, and current states in Indigo (movable to variables via Jay's Plugin). AND it also detected a neighbor's (apparently LaCrosse) rain sensor and the pair of Radio Shack 63-1088s that I am using to get a temperature difference across the ac coil. It doesn't have the range to get to the RS temp sensor I have in the freezer, but moving the Radio Shack display away from the freezer shows that it doesn't work either if it's mroe than 10 ft from the freezer. The OSI rain sensor appears to be sick, (but it's being weird on the WMR80 as well, and OSI told me to try a HARD reset... batteries out for 10 minutes, then reset, which I haven't had time to get up on the roof and try). So the RFX seems to be working pretty flawlessly (except for as some people are questioning determining when the min/max resets and so forth, but the basic info seems to be solid) and I'm actually logging all my weather data once a minute as a csv file to compare to the Davis that's using weathersnoop(using Berkinet's suggestion to >> through an Applescript makes it trivial; thanks).
