This device handler is not being recognized by alexa when you scan for new devices after linking smartthings to alexa.
(You can check it by disabling the skill and then enabling the smartthings skill back in Alexa and scan for new devices).

Because Alexa can't find it, you can't ask Alexa "What is the temperature of X?".

Strangely to fix it, you can change the custom handler from this one, to "Aeon Multisensor" or "Zigbee Motion/Temp/Humidity Sensor" handler, and re-link the smartthings skill, and run a scan for new devices.
Alexa then will recognize it during scan, and will report the temperature when asked.

When i set the handler to "Aeon Multisensor" or "Zigbee Motion/Temp/Humidity Sensor" it works perfect with Alexa when i ask her for the temperature, but over night it will loose connection, and device state on smartthings IDE will show OFFLINE until i set the handler back to this one.

I don't know how to make it work with Alexa (I guess i need to have Motion Sensor OR On-Off Switch capability) and prevent it from going to sleep/offline overnight.

If you can add Virtual On/Off switch (that literally doing nothing) it will be possible to make a routine every X time to tuggle it Off and On, preventing it from being idle and going to sleep.
This way i will be able to constantly reading the temperature.
