The ``tx20`` sensor platform allows you to use your TX20/TX23

`lacrosse_tx23`_)
wind direction and speed sensors with ESPHome.
The only required pin is the black or brown cable (which is used to transmit data.)

It appears that the manufacturer discontinued production of this sensor, as it doesn't seem to be available anymore for purchase.
There are various alternatives though, and since ESPHome has a :doc:`/components/modbus`, any model supporting RS485 connection
can be easily integrated.

Check out in the ESPHome Devices database example configurations for
`RS-FSJT-N01 Wind Speed <https://devices.esphome.io/devices/Renke-RS-FSJT-N01-Wind-Speed>`__ and
`RS-FXJT-N01 Wind Direction <https://devices.esphome.io/devices/Renke-RS-FXJT-N01-Wind-Direction>`__ sensors.
