I have used these from Tire Rack
http://www.smartire.com/
I had an early system that was marginal for trailer use
due to signal strength. They came out with a revised
receiver with an antenna that worked much better. But then
I managed to blow up the receiver by trying to plug the
power connector in without looking and hit the remote
head connector instead ..... oops.
...but I don't think they're still in the market. Some friends
locally have sensors that simply screw onto the valve stem.
Which are easy to install, but introduce another point of
failure.

Here's a valve stem system
