Here's Adafruit's i2c temp/humidity options -- any of these should be trivially easy to interface as with the ADC code on the Pi2. One of these (pick based on your mounting and accuracy requirements) + FreeBSD + RPI2 + a bit of code and you're in business. https://www.adafruit.com/products/165?q=i2c%20humidity&; -- Karl Denninger [email protected] /The Market Ticker/
