Users can ask the Google Assistant either on their phones (both iOS and Android) or their Nest Hub as the report suggests that it works on all Google Smart Displays. The results on both form factors are shown with cards that have an accompanying icon and “Data from” line. Google Assistant will also mention that the data is “based on your last sync.” In the case of smart displays, none of this data appears proactively, however, this issue can be solved with a future update. Moreover, the 2nd-gen Nest Hub supports a Wellness tab that shows sleep-related cards, including stats and tips.
These changes occur even before Fitbit gets better integrated across Google devices. Additionally, the Pixel Watch will be released in the fall while Sleep Sensing on the Nest Hub (2nd gen) is also expected to work with Fitbit Premium soon.
