Fitbit Double Counting Floors

I ve turned off and back on.

Fitbit double counting floors.

I have noticed that if i go up the two flights in one continuous trip it will count only one floor. Double check that your charger is securely connected to your device and usb port. Since sunday it has stopped counting floors i have 0 recorded in last 3 days. Make sure the contacts on your charging cable and fitbit are clean.

I do a double tap just to be sure. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time. Fitbit devices detect floors using something called an altimeter. It s now registering about 3 out of every 4 or 5 flights.

Fitbit trackers that count floors use an altimeter to calculate how many floors you ve climbed. If i pause after one floor then make the next flight it will count two. This is a sensor that measures altitude based on atmospheric pressure. It is showing me reaching my step goals way earlier than i should and i haven t changed my exercise routine since the update.

If the floors you re climbing are shorter than 10 feet you may find that the fitbit tracker s floor count doesn t exactly match how many floors you ve gone up. Another cause of inaccurate floors is moisture. After updating my charge 3 with the latest software my step count is counting two steps for every one as well as the floors climbed. I live in a house which has three floors with two flights of stairs.

84 floors today when it should be under 20 probably more like 10. My fitbit has been working fine for year or so i ve had it. 10 feet is an average between residential and commercial floor heights. Before that average was probably 30 a day.

This seems to have changed within the last couple of days. It s fully charged etc. I ve seen the suggestion to restart the charge so will try that tomorrow. Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation so the tracker calculates elevation gain based on the reduction in atmospheric pressure.

It does not count floors accurately and i have been trying to determine when it does and doesn t count. The device on your wrist takes these readings to estimate. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation. Fitbit devices that count floors have an altimeter sensor that can detect when you re going up or down in elevation.

In the last 2 3 days the floor count has gone excessively high. Your device registers one floor when you climb about 10 feet at one time.
