Hi Trace,
The clock batteries are fine, it’s the radio unit that I’ve had problems with.
What type of triple A batteries do you use?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi all.
Even if Hive ever can give you the inside temperature, it will of course be
that local to your thermostat. There is a Retro radio controlled clock from
Cobolt, one of the functions giving you the room temperature. It costs £45
approx. Rather expensive for obtaining the room temperature; it also has an
external unit for registering the outside temperature, but I’ve had
difficulty finding batteries powerful enough to drive the unit, or it may be
that the unit is just not reliable enough.
Hth,
Mike

Hi,
Even then she doesn't. I have the hive system and you can turn it up or
down, but you currently can't get what temperature the room is. You can say
turn it up by two degrees for example, but she can't pull info from the Hive
system yet.
All the best
Steve

Peter, as far as I can see by putting the various permutations to Alexa, she
does not give you room temperature unless you have one of the heating
systems linked to the Echo or Dot.
Kind regards,

Thanks all for your suggestions. It seems to boil down to the Echo or Dot
and yet it appears that the Dot does not support this function and nobody
has positively said that the Echo does. Can anybody confirm please whether
the Echo does give the room temperature?

The dot itself cannot give you the room temperature. You would need to link
it with something like a Nest or Hive. We have ours connected to a Nest
thermostat, but you still can't ask it for the internal house temperature.
However, the house temperature can be viewed on the phone app for Nest.

Hi George,
I've tried several angles but the room temperature is very low and I
apparently have a lot of wind and rain, Hmmm Lot of folk would agree with
that one, smile.

Hi Jim,
Are you asking the wrong question perhaps?

Hi George,
Do you mean the Amazon Echo or Dot? I have an Amazon Dot but she only tells
me the current external temperature, or what it is in Kinloss (ex RAF base"
and as I'm a mile up the road from there I the reckon the temp in Findhorn
is about the same.
Maybe there is an Alexa skill for the room temp?

Peter,
These days I'd go for an Echo since it does what you ask, and much more.
Plus it is a mainstream product anyway, reflected in the price.
