[Electronics-Talk] Indoor Talking Thermometer

[Annely Rose]

Check with Blind Mice Mega Mall and Braille Super Store.  I got a talking
clock/thermometer from Braille Super Store 4 years ago and it still runs
fine and gives me my room temperature.  I don't remember the price, but it
was under $20.  Not sure if cooking thermometers will give you the room
temperature.  Ask at these two places.  Good luck.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] Indoor Talking Thermometer

There doesn't seem to be much call these days for an indoor thermometer.
Once upon a time I had talking indoor/outdoor thermometers. However they
have long since worn out and have been disposed of with extreme happiness. I
use my Echo when I want the outdoor temperature. It might not be to the
exact degree but it is close enough for me.

However, I am unable to find something that will give me just an indoor
temperature. The apartment where I live is not one in which I can install a
talking Thermostat. And there is literally an 8 or 10 degree difference
tween the North side of the apartment and the South side of the apartment
365 day of the year.

Today I asked AIRA to help me adjust the central heat which is located in
the living room and it took me about a half an hour and several calls
because even with the glasses and kit, the thermostat is so small and low
contrast the Agents could not read the numbers and one was unable to help me
saying she could not see it at all. even with Zoom on my iPhone.

I have been searching for quite a while for something that just does indoor
temperature and nothing else. Because I can't open my windows in the
apartment to run wires or anything and don't want to buy something more than
I need. So any help locating just a Talking Indoor thermometer would be much
appreciated.
