Nest Hub Soli sleep tracking will migrate from Google Fit to Health app
Since launch, Sleep Sensing on the 2nd-gen Nest Hub has only worked with Google Fit. With that app going away , Nest Hub sleep tracking will join Google Health.
Google has updated the Nest Hub’s sleep tracking feature to work with the Health app instead of Google Fit. This shift is due to Google consolidating its health and fitness offerings, with the aim of unifying data under the Health app. The Nest Hub’s Soli radar, or Motion Sense, tracks movement and breathing to determine sleep stages, the time it takes to fall asleep, and breathing rates.
The microphone also identifies coughing and snoring, while other sensors monitor fluctuations in light and temperature. All data is processed locally on the Nest Hub without being transmitted outside the device. The update to the Nest Hub reflects Google's ongoing strategy to streamline its health and fitness services, with users now able to migrate data from Google Fit to the Health app "later this year."
