When I was looking for temperature sensors to provide input for my ski wax program, I found an I2C temperature and humidity sensor. Sparkfun has it on a breakout board: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9418 I did some experiments earlier with using the BMP085 barometer's internal

Do you know about any documentation for these 433 MHz proprietary protocols? What about using 802.15.4 or ZigBee? I want to use Freescale MC13233C [1] in my indoor/outdoor temperature and humidity monitoring project. Please tell me, if you know about cheaper 802.15.4/ZigBee modul or about any
