Amazon Alexa built in temperature + Amazon Show Widgets

[Dolby]

Does anyone have a Amazon with built in temperature sensor (ie 4th gen Dot) and an Amazon Show with widgets ?

I'm wondering whether you could have a widget on the Show to display the room temperature in real time, but it seems the query is quite niche and I haven't too much on Google

I have a dot 4.but had no idea it has a temperature sensor? Where/how do you get the temp?

 

[Dolby]

I don’t have one - I just read that it does.

Unless the larger Echo 4th generation does and not the Dot, and it’s only got the sensor in the Dot 5th generation.

I actually need to check and may have saved myself buying a new device

It may only be 4th gen Echo and 5th gen Dot

How to Use the Amazon Echo Temperature Sensor

You can use the Amazon Echo temperature sensor to ask Alexa the room temperature, but only if you have the right hardware.

That 2nd link is English on my phone - or translate behind the scenes.

But seems I need a 5th generation now

But the Echo Dot of the fifth generation has additional sensors. This includes a temperature sensor, which will be able to give you the temperature of the room the Echo Dot is in - mirroring the functionality of some of the larger Echo units. But the temperature sensor can also be connected to Alexa Routines , so that it can act independently, for example turning on the fan if the room reaches a certain temperature or turning off the heat.

ah right.
I have room temperatures anyway, from my tado setup

Where can you see the temperature ?

I think it would be great to have one the Echo devices with a sensor in (for example) a baby room , and display the room temperature on the Show next to my bed. Also, pretty neat to have it integrate it into the routines to switch on a fan or something

I can see it home assistant, or I can ask alexa for the temperature in a particular room
