To do this you need to either create a "virtual" thermostat device, or make use of the Q&A Skill, so that Alexa knows what you are asking it for.

I see your flow comes from this post [trying-to-get-alexa-to-read-out-a-temperature](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/trying-to-get-alexa-to-read-out-a-temperature/56974)

Did you read it all ?

It provides solutions and also links to another thread about the Q&A skill [pure-fun-with-alexa-and-alexa-skills](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/pure-fun-with-alexa-and-alexa-skills/46867)
