Nitrogen in tires with TPMS - NOT recommended ???

Today 'surprise' again: was talking about tires and pressures with my friend who has tires shop and workshop and was told that nitrogen makes TPMS sensors 'crazy'.
Now I'm curious if anybody experienced any issues with TPMS when using nitrogen in tires ?

P.S. it is not about worth or not, not about advantages of nitrogen, or that it is waste of money; it's simple question about TPMS with nitrogen.
I know it has been discussed but still...

I've had nitrogen for 10 years on same sensors. No problem with sensors.

I'm more concerned with air, because of moisture (from heat cycles of tire). For most street cars, I'd suggest this doesn't make a difference. If you track, I'd suggest this becomes a lot more significant.

Exactly ! Moisture in the air - that's why I thought to fill nitrogen - just to protect new sensors plus other small benefits, and it's for free for me anyway but then got warning to prepare that sensors might go bananas.
