Hello all, 

Apologies if this suggestion seems an expensive overkill. There is a device 
supplied by Cobolt, a talking timestat, which includes a probe capable of 
measuring the room temperature. Visit: 

cobolt.co.uk/store/cblt_viewItem.asp?idProduct=213

 which gives information of both models. One can set times for the next 2 days, 
the other can set times for the next 7 days. I seem to recall for best results 
the timestat should be on for a short time to allow the temperature measurement 
to stabilise. 

Paul Benson.

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.
