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.

There used to be a way to clear those erroneous floors but when fitbit added the activity thing to idevices they killed it and they are not listening to any support requests to fix it. If only the pressure change is counted every ride in an elevator would heavily distort the floor count. Your device registers 1 floor when you climb about 10 feet or 3 meters. This type of elevator is designed to travel between one landing or floor opening only.
