  • Google Home can now read your Fitbit and sleep data out loud.
  • The new option can be set as a routine and appears in the “Automations” tab.
  • You can choose to hear step count, distance traveled, calories burned, days exercised out of the week, hours slept, and sleep start time.

Want to know how many steps you took or calories you burned today without having to look at a screen? Google Home just got an update that will allow Google Assistant to read your stats to you.

First spotted by 9to5Google, the Google Home app now has a “Get Wellness Info” option located in the “Automations” tab. The new option reads your Google Fit and Fitbit data to you as part of a routine or automation. This option not only provides fitness information, but can also give you your sleep data from the night before.
