Multiple temperature and humidity sensors #295
-
I have a temperature/humidity sensor in almost every room. Just tried the matter hub with theses sensors. Therefor my solution was to name the sensor temperature entities with their room names. Thus I can ask "What temperature is in 'roomname'". This works. But how can I add humidity then? Naming the humidity entity also with the room name seems no solution since the name is also assigned for the temperature. Naming the device like "roomname temperature", then I get the answer "The temperatur of roomname temperature is ...". How could this be achieved? |

It can't. Amazon/Alexa does not support reporting humidity, even when using their own "Amazon Indoor Air Quality Monitor" which I have attached to the group "Living Room". Temperature via the AIAQM though works... |

I found this reddit post from two years ago: Still Waiting For Humidity & Air Quality Compatibility Q: "Alexa, what is the living room air humidity" I have exposed two HA humidity sensors: Laundry Room Humidity & Garage Humidity that I renamed Laundry Room Air & Garage Air but when I ask "Alexa, what is the garage air humidity" like I did with the AQM, she still answers "that's not supported yet"... |

I therefore use scripts for the humidity that I can call up via a routine. "Alexa, what's the humidity in the bathroom" activates the following script: `alias: Luftfeuchtigkeitsabrage Badezimmer
The disadvantage here is only Alexa's confirming "Okay" before the actual answer. |
