Only the Echo and Echo Plus have built-in temperature sensors. Similar functionality is available from Alexa-compatible thermostats and standalone temperature sensors.
Furthermore, does Echo Show 8 have Zigbee?
It’s certainly no Echo Studio or Sonos One. The original Show and Show 8 run on different chipsets – the larger Echo Show is Intel Atom based, while the Show 8 is based on a MediaTek platform. The only other feature of the larger Show that the Show 5 and 8 don’t have is a Zigbee smart hub built-in (like the Echo Plus).

What is the temperature sensor?
A temperature sensor is a device used to measure temperature. This can be air temperature, liquid temperature or the temperature of solid matter. There are different types of temperature sensors available and they each use different technologies and principles to take the temperature measurement.
What temperature sensors work with Alexa?
Currently, only three manufacturers offer Works with Alexa–certified sensors: Samsung SmartThings, Sylvania Lightify, and Philips Hue. Although a sensor may advertise compatibility with Alexa, if it’s not certified under Works with Alexa, you can’t be sure that it has the ability to trigger Alexa Routines.
Where does Alexa get temperature?
Alexa uses AccuWeather for the latest weather information. This skill uses the device location set in the Alexa App settings.
