Small thermometers that you can buy and hang anywhere are quite inexpensive, but there is no need to buy one if you have an Amazon Echo. That is, if you have one of two types of Echos: the fourth generation echo or one Second generation Echo Plus. Both have temperature sensors built into the smart speakers; you just need to watch your phrasing to make sure you are getting the result for your room, not outside it.
The surest way to test this is to ask Alexa to say the temperature, period. Assuming everything is set up correctly on your device, you will get the temperature of your current location – just as you normally would. Remember that number, and instead ask Alexa to tell you the internal temperature. Specifically: “Alexa, what is the temperature inside”. Using the word “inside the house” instead of “inside” does not work. Do not ask me why.
(I also found that if you designate a room for your Echo device, through the Devices guide in the app, you should also be able to ask Alexa “What is the temperature in [name of room]? ”)
The number you said he must be the current temperature of the room in which your Echo is sitting. And you can check this value through the Alexa application> Devices> Echo and Alexa> “Name of your Echo device”. Scroll down until you see the “Temperature sensor” field:

Touch it and you can even start creating automatic routines based on temperature.
Obviously, turning on a fan when it gets too hot is a perfect routine to set up, but you’re only limited by your imagination (and the number of Alexa-compatible devices you have). I? I just wanted my Echo to scream the temperature once an hour. I wonder if I can build a routine for that.
