Methods and apparatus for fitting to a wheel of a vehicle comprising a pneumatic tyre, the sensor module comprising: a pressure sensor for sensing pressure of a gas retained within the pneumatic tyre; an alert generator configured to generate one or more alert signals based on the sensed pressure of the gas and a calibrated tyre pressure; and a controller configured to receive pressure data from the pressure sensor and determine whether the tyre is being inflated or deflated by a user, and subsequently re-set the calibrated tyre pressure to the pressure of the gas after inflation or deflation.
