While there are already a multitude of smart devices that can measure the climate in your home, this technology is now coming to some audio speakers. In addition to playing music and offering an intelligent voice assistant, these devices can now measure the temperature and humidity level in the room in which they’re located.

Until now, for a smart speaker to provide a temperature reading, it had to be paired with a thermometer or a connected weather station. On the new generation of HomePod and HomePod mini from Apple or the Echo and Echo Dot from Amazon, this information will come directly from the speaker.
