It all depends on the Alexa skill created by the manufacturer.So instead of using the Sensi Alexa Skill, I found an ST smartapp and DTH that allows me to control my Sensi thermostat with ST instead of using the Sensi phone app. I suggest a Wifi Tstat but seems like any should work. But it probably costs alot more:New Version of the tado° Smart AC Control is out now: ✔ Comfortable Climate ✔ Save money ✔ Intuitive Control ✔ Pays itself in the first yearTempoChef is a Cloud Connected Smart Thermometer, designed for remote monitoring in both hot and cold environments. They were made possible by people in the community who developed ST smartapps and DTHs to let ST control those cloud based solutions. In any event, it does not quite represent the temps “where we live”.Another reason why I like the Ecobee so much! Et je ne regrette pas d’avoir rencontré notre assistante préférée ni cette aventure entreprise avec Alexien Modo. For reference, the thermostat was set to 69 degrees and the actual temperature was 69.5 degrees. [Wrong answer] What’s the thermostat mode? Would move it, but no other location works really. However, their Alexa skill did not work when I asked Alexa to tell me the current temperature. It’s much easier to install a DTH.A lot of useful info here, thanks a bunch.The current landscape seems to be that it is fairly easy to get Alexa to talk to “hubs” or devices that have their own apps. This function is fired when there is an incoming request from Alexa. [Wrong answer] What’s the thermostat set to? So my thought is there must some wireless temperature gauge, sensor, or thermometer that could interact with Alexa. [Wrong answer] Google: It’s currently 70 degrees. Thermostat is quicker (OOPS MAY NOT WORK for providing current temp, but refer to actual thorough testing by this guy:I tested a bunch of phrases with both Alexa and Google Home. It sure would be nice to have some sort of decoder ring so we would know how to control this through Alexa and Google Home. Alexa: The heat is set to 69. But I got bored and fell asleep.FYI depending on which Wifi Tstat, may provide the manufacturer phone or web app that will show actual temperature.you offer to install it, maybe he would roll over. [Boo] What’s the thermostat setting? Did not realize that. [Boo] What’s the thermostat setting? Why isn’t there more temp sensor that have Alexa Skills?I haven’t tried it but I really like the Iris door temperature sensor and use it as an extra sensor for my ecobee which through SmartThings I can bring into Alexa. Une fois le courriel et votre mot de passe entrés, vous allez y recevoir un mot de passe qu’il vous faudra saisir dans la zone confirmation code.

However, I didn’t know this when I purchased them. It all depends on the Alexa skill created by the manufacturer. I was just thinking that if we could make a temp sensor appear to have the required capabilities of a thermostat via the DTH code (or something along that line of thought), perhaps that would be enough to make the out-of-box ST/Alexa skill report the temperature reading of the sensor. Then I use the Alexa app on my phone to interact with the Kasa app.

[Wrong answer] Google: It’s currently 70 degrees. My ST multi sensors allow me to ask Alexa the temperature.

(Very similar to what I did with TPLink and Kasa.) Alexa: That’s not supported ye…My own testing seemed to indicate it was only telling me the setpoint, while I was breathing on it to make a noticeable difference from setpoint. Step 3: Writing source code to handle data from Alexa Skill (on AWS Lambda) We need to create a lambda function and write source code for it. Then I could ask her the temperature. So I tell Alexa to turn on my fan, but it is Kasa that does the turning on.Apparently I can get a smart thermostat that comes with an app, and then link that app to Alexa and I can ask Alexa the room temperature.Right now there do not appear to be sensor devices that will hop onto my network and talk to Alexa directly.But this may be possible with some extra coding and a “helper” app.If this view of the landscape is correct I am wondering if this means plug-n-play “Alexa ready” sensors are coming soon, or is Amazon holding back for fear of undercutting the hub-based ecosystems like SmartThings.use the Alexa app on my phone to interact with the Kasa aI actually have installed an ST smartapp and DTH that lets me control my TPLink devices via SmartThings. It can be triggered by a standard schedule, or how I use it is by temperature.That unit can handle up to 16amps, but if you just want to run a simple fan or other device, you can go with the lower end TH10 and save some money.I don’t know the price on this, but if you have an AC unit that uses IR remote control, then this unit can give you much more control.

From there, you can ask what the temperature is. I would like to as Alexa what the temperature is in my room, but I am renter and no way is the landlord going to install a smart thermostat. [Correct] Google: Sorry, I can’t help with that yet. I think it requires no DTH modification but installation is a little complicated. So instead of using the Sensi Alexa Skill, I found an ST smartapp and DTH that allows me to control my Sensi thermostat with ST instead of using the Sensi phone app. Alexa: The heat is set to 69. Look at this and other apps by the author of “Ask Alexa” or “Alexa Helper” smartapps. For reference, the thermostat was set to 69 degrees and the actual temperature was 69.5 degrees. Among Alexa’s many tricks is that it also works as a smart-home hub. That happens to be a hallway.

It doesn’t have to be connected to HVAC.

Alexa: The thermostat temperature is 69.5 degrees.
