Sure. There's several hundred extra steps I can use (up to and including having the outdoor temperature sent my smart watch every 10 seconds), but
knowing the outdoor temperature is not really the point of the exercise. Getting her to
tell it to me whenever I ask a very simple question is.
I can make Alexa initiate just about any automated task I want, but I can't make her report (vocally) on the status of this device (and she KNOWS the status of this device). It's maddening. The words "temperature" or "humidty" or "dew point" all seem to trigger the same generic weather report that doesn't use my sensors. Sensors that are all configured and viewable in the alexa app.
