- Open the Google Home app on your iPhone/iPad/Android device. Find your second-gen Nest Hub in the list, then select it.
- Tap on the gear icon in the top-right to open its Settings menu.
- Choose “Sleep Sensing.”
- Click on “Next” to proceed with the process.
- The next screen explains how the Nest Hub utilizes the radar, not a camera, to detect body movement as well as breathing. Click on “Next” to continue.
- A message will appear, this contains information about how sleep tracking integrates with Google Fit and Google Assistant. If you’re okay with this integration, tap on “Agree.”
- You’ll be asked about tracking “sound events” for example, coughing or snoring. If you want this feature to be enabled, tap on “Next.”
- A message appears once again containing information about how this feature works and what Google does with the information. Tap on “Agree” if you agree.
- The sleep tracking information can be used with Google Fit to provide personalized sleep suggestions. Tap on “Next” if you’re interested.
- There will be another window, here you will be asked to “Agree” with how it works and where your data is used.

- Choose “Sleep Sensing” from the settings.
- Click on “Calibrate” to begin setting it up to sense your sleep environment.
- You will then be guided through several slides with tips for putting the Nest Hub in an accurate spot. You should have it at about the same height as your mattress, 1-2 feet away from where you sleep, angled towards you.
