Alexa ask Sensor Data

Configuration
3

This is what I use as the intent for “Alexa, ask Home Assistant for the temperature of .”

speech:
  type: plaintext
  text: >
    The {{ Room }} temperature is
    {{ states("sensor." + Room.replace(" ", "_") + "_temperature") }}
    degrees.

Or, for a more detailed sensor example that doesn’t have a variable input, here’s what I use for “Alexa, ask Home Assistant about the weather.”:

speech:
  type: plaintext
  text: >
    {%- set temp = states('sensor.dark_sky_temperature') | round -%}
    {%- set t_hi = states('sensor.dark_sky_daily_high_temperature') | round -%}
    {%- set t_low = states('sensor.dark_sky_daily_low_temperature') | round -%}
    {%- set feel = states('sensor.dark_sky_apparent_temperature') | round -%}
    {%- set humid = states('sensor.dark_sky_humidity') | round -%}
    {%- set now = states('sensor.dark_sky_summary') -%}
    {%- set hourly = states('sensor.dark_sky_hourly_summary') -%}
    {%- set daily = states('sensor.dark_sky_daily_summary') -%}
    Right now, it is {{ temp }} degrees out
    {%- if temp != feel -%}
    but it feels like {{ feel }} degrees
    {%- endif -%}.
    The current humidity is {{ humid }}%.
    Right now, conditions are {{ now }}.
    For today, {{ hourly }}.
    Today's high is {{ t_hi }} and the low is {{ t_low }}.
    The forecast calls for {{ daily }}.
