Thanks for the report! This is very helpful since I do not own an Air Quality Monitor. I will let you know if I need more information but I believe this is enough for me to determine the issue.

[joeyhage]

Please try version 2.2.0-alpha.5 and let me know if that resolves the issue for you. Thanks!

[Jfrench-cdn]

Joey, It is now showing up and pulling information. The only info item it is not able to pull and display is Temperature.

When looking at the logs, it appears to be not looking for this value. Is it possible to add that one as well?

Thank you for looking into this. Much Appreciated.

@Jfrench-cdn the latest version, 2.2.0 prints additional useful information when debug logging is enabled. Search for Raw device features and you should see a list of features that are supported and enabled for your device.

If temperature is not in that list, it is either not supported or is not enabled for some reason, that would be why it's not working.

[Jfrench-cdn]

Joey, Please see below the list from the log of the RAW device features. temp is listed but is not being pulled by the plugin.

[joeyhage]

@Jfrench-cdn based on what you sent, the devices are not reporting the temperature. All of the values for temperature were null (no value) in your message. Does the temperature show properly in the Alexa app?

{
  "name": "temperatureSensor",
  "instance": null,
  "operations": null,
  "properties": [
    {
      "name": "temperature",
      "value": null
    }
  ],
  "configuration": null
}

[Jfrench-cdn]

Yes it does show properly in the Alexa app

[joeyhage]

Based on what I am seeing, Temperature is not currently working via the GraphQL API. This plugin was converted to the Alexa GraphQL API as of 2.2.0 because of the timeout/rate limiting issues. Hopefully Amazon will fix it soon but there is nothing I can do unfortunately. This is the full response from the alexa API for an air quality monitor's temperature sensor.
