Smart Home: Google Assistant brings fitness data from Fitbit and Google Fit to Nest Hub Smart Displays

by

With the two ecosystems Google Fit and Fitbit, Google has two platforms in its portfolio that can save various vital signs, count steps, track sports activities and do other things. Access from other products was previously hardly possible, but that will change shortly: The Google Assistant can now show the “activity readings” of the two platforms on smart displays.

There was a time when Google Fit was available as both a smartphone app and a web version, but the latter is long gone and forgotten. But very soon, the values ​​recorded by Google Fit and Fitbit should be available via Google Assistant and displayed on smart displays.
