My fitbit counts my elevator ride of 11 floors at office as 3 4 floors climbed.
Fitbit floors elevator.
Vertical speed vs horizontal speed.
Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that detects when you go up in elevation.
Fitbit trackers that count floors use an altimeter to calculate how many floors you ve climbed.
Fitbit devices don t count floors on stationary exercise.

I managed to get 400 floors with my fitbit surge today.
The through floor elevator is a small home elevator that travels through a customized opening in the floor.
Even if you remember that air pressure change can still sometimes register floors.
I tried resetting it but didn t help.
An altimeter is a sensor that calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure.
What makes a through floor elevator great.
Through floor elevators are one of the easiest and fastest ways to add an elevator to your home.
If only the pressure change is counted every ride in an elevator would heavily distort the floor count.

How does fitbit track floors.
Even now when i have climbed no floors it somehow shows 12 floors climbed.
Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters.
The accelerometer and gyroscope assesses acceleration and directional changes for stairs the vertical speed increase and decrease with each step up horizontal speed from traveling forwards.
Your device uses changes in barometric pressure combined with the steps you take to calculate floors climbed.
Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation so the tracker calculates elevation gain based on the reduction in atmospheric pressure.
