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!?
Can you use a work around? Maybe a routine, or IFTTT?
