Why has Amazon made it nearly impossible to ask for the temperature from configured sensor right outside my house? Alexa recognizes the sensor. I can see the temperature of the sensor if I open the Alexa app and go to devices. I've tried getting tricky with the naming of the sensor, but nothing works. Any use of the word "temperature" (with the exception of "indoor temperature" or "thermostat temperature) triggers a generic weather briefing.

I can ask her if my garage door is open. I can ask her if my outdoor faucet is still turned on (plant irrigation), but I can't ask her what my outdoor thermometer (which she 's clearly capable of communicating with) is currently reading!?
