Read data from Esp8266 to amazon echo.

Hello,

i use a Esp8266 to control a device with my amazon echo. I use the fauxmoESP lib. It works great but now i would like to change my code in order to send some data back to the echo. For example ask for Temperatur or something. I already read some stuff but its all about creating skills and some java script. I actually dont understand this methode. Well The fauxmo lib works fine to turn some device on/off but maybe also to read some variables?

thanks for help

I'm not sure you can do all of this directly on an ESP but it is possible if you have your own server (like a Raspberry Pi) running MQTT and Node-red with the node-red-contrib-alexa-home-skill as this is what I use to monitor sensors in every room and one outside.
As a bonus the home server logs all the readings in a database and displays the last 48 hours worth of data.
