        I have put my Echo away in the cupboard. I'll wait until the system works properly.

          Amazon announced on their developer blog that they're extending the Smart Home Skill API in the US (UK & Germany coming soon) to support the following two scenarios.

          A customer requests the temperature value (what it is), for example “Alexa, what’s the temperature inside?”
          A customer requests the temperature setting (what it should be), for example, “Alexa, what’s my thermostat set to?”

          Hopefully it means the Evohome skill will be more useful soon, depending on Amazons definition of "coming soon"
          This worked today for me in the Netherlands (using UK Amazon store). I can ask Alexa "What's the temperature in the Livingroom?" or "the office" or whatever. Her answer always states "Inside, it's 22" (or whatever) so she does not repeat the requested room name but does get its temperature correct.

          Honeywell, is it really that difficult to get the room name repeated instead of a generic 'inside'? It is correctly repeated when she is asked to set the temperature rather than merely report it. New intern in the coding group ?

                    Good news - Seems like we have tracked down a gremlin (not exclusive to us but something which we use a lot). We are testing something - Standby!

                      A short term fix is being applied shortly. We have worked with Amazon to identify issue, a longer term platform fix is also provisioned for. I will post here when both are done.

                        I just asked Alexa "what temperature is the Office Hallyway" to see if anything had changed - reply "inside is 19 degrees" - WOW
                        Tried again:
                        "what temperature is the Main Bedroom" - reply "inside is 20 degrees" - WOW x2
                        Tried again:
                        "what temperature is the Living Room" - reply "inside is 21.5 degrees" - WOW x3

                        Guess that's all working then

                        Edit:
                        Just to note they are all correct values

                              did yours say degrees at the end?

                              I had asked for this syntax amend to be done - but was sure it had.
