How to see your Fitbit or Google Fit activity on your Nest Hub
Once you’ve enabled all the desired toggles, there are several methods you can use to see your Fitbit or Google Fit activity on your Nest Hub. The first is very simple, just say “Hey Google, how many steps did you walk yesterday?” This also works if you want to see things like sleep and calories burned.
Another way to view your metrics is through the “wellness” cards that appear. This brings up several different cards, complete with step tracking, sleep time, various suggestions, and more.
However, there are pitfalls as this integration currently appears to be available for those with Nest Hubs (2nd Gen). Google Nest Hub Max[ウェルネス]I wasn’t able to view the tabs, but your mileage may vary.
Seamless integration with Google services
It’s a bit disappointing that currently you can only connect to either Fitbit or Google Fit, but that may change in the near future. In 2022, Google will introduce the Health Connect app. This app is designed to bring together all the best workout and fitness tracking apps.
Some applications have already been updated to support Health Connect, such as Oura, MyFitnessPal, and even the Meta Quest app. However, some are still missing, such as Nike Training Club, Strava, and more.
That said, when Health Connect is integrated into more of the applications and services it relies on, the overall experience improves significantly. And best of all, you can see a ton of health data directly from your Nest Hub, regardless of where it’s coming from.
