Report feed value in Alexa
Is there a way to ask Alexa to get a value from a feed? I have a temperature sensor in my barn that sends the temperature every few minutes to an Adafruit IO feed and I would like to be able ask Alexa what the temperature is in the barn.

@eframe,
Our FAQ suggests using IFTT to bridge AIO and Alexa.

That's only for posting to Adafruit IO from Alexa not going the other way.

@eframe,
I don't see a guide on the Adafruit side that details how to connect query Alexa for AIO data.
It might be worth checking out Zapier setup and see how well they integrate AIO <--> Alexa. It might just work for your question of "What temperature is the barn".

This can be done with a Node-Red flow by activating the Alexa Remote2 palette.eframe wrote:Is there a way to ask Alexa to get a value from a feed?

You should set up an MQTT-in palette to connect on adafruit.io, with this way you can read the feed data and then send it to Alexa via the Alexa-Echo palette. ;-)

Sorry, not Alexa Echo palette, but Alexa Routine palette
