I see in Sinric Pro the humidity value within the temperature sensor, yet I can not call it up on Alexa; yet another device I have can call it (Awair), albeit through a skill.

Is there any plan to make it available on Alexa?

Similary I have access to other types of environmental sensors that it would be useful to have access to, barometric pressure, PM2.5, Carbon Dioxide, VOC, Light intensity and colour, as well as temperature & humidity, can we help each other?

As far as I know, Alexa Smart Home Skills do not support humidity yet.

Awair is not a smart home skill, it's a custom skill. That's why you always must say "ask awair to xxx" instead of just saying turn on xxx.

This limitation comes from Amazon Skill, not Sinric Pro.

For now, you have to use the Sinric Pro app. The current app shows temperature/humidity but we have improved this too supports temperature/humidity with line charts as well. it looks much better.

This will be available in 1-2 days in Google Play/AppStore.

We are working on supporting additional sensors at the moment.

I saw that, I actually want to create an outside sensor station (ultimately) that I can ask current conditions, could the humidity be read using percentage and somehow combined? My understanding is not good enough to know.
