This looks like a Rube Goldberg method that risks losing several fingers in the process.

This ^^^. The TPMS has saved my 20 something college daughter twice as she was going back and forth between Memphis and Nashville. There's a lot of sparsely developed territory on that drive. Both times she had been home recently and I had checked her tires but she picked up a nail somewhere.When you pick up a nail while on the highway, it will let you know when the pressure drops to a still safe 28 psi so you can reduce your speed accordingly and pull off to a service station.
I had tires rebalanced and the shop set them all to like 36psi. My TPMS said there was a problem a couple miles later. Heat generated had them at almost 40psi. They were originally calibrated at the 33 front and 32 rear. I dropped the pressure back respectively by a couple psi. I didn't need to recalibrate, lights went off.On my 17 Accord sport, I was driving to work the other day and the tpms light came on, I was like “ah what the hell?” I checked the air pressure when I got to work and every break I got I went and checked the air pressure and none of the tires were low.
Before I left work that night I did the tpms calibrate and it went away and hasn’t come back since. Not sure what was going on. I’m set to rotate my tires in under 1000 miles, when I do rotate the tires I look over the tires for nails, etc… so I will see if there is something in one of the tires.
It would be nice to see the air pressure on the dash for sure for quick reference
