Timestep temperature data for individual wall layers

Is there a way to get timeseries temperature data for each individual layer of the envelope object like wall or roof. For example, if I have a BuildingSurface:Detailed object named South_wall which is assigned a Construction object Exterior_wall made up of different Material objects as mentioned below, then is it possible to get hourly temperature data for the inside and outside surfaces of each individual layers of the Construction object for each BuildingSurface:Detailed object

Construction, Exterior Wall, bevel_cedar_siding, Bldg_paper_felt, OSB_3/4in, wall_consol_layer_empty_cavity, Drywall_1/2in;

I found a way to get the temperature data for the inside and outside surfaces of the BuildingSurface:Detailed object using the Surface Inside/Outside Face Temperature output variable. But this does not provide data for individual layers.
