Toybox.Activity.Info vs. on Device Pressure

Apologies if this is a common topic - couldn't find anything recent.

I've implemented pressure readings on my watch faces, but I am running into something I can't quite figure out. None of the available pressures in CIQ (ambientPressure, rawAmbientPressure, nor meanSeaLevelPressure) from Toybox.Activity.Info match the on-device pressure widget.

Does anyone know why this may be the case, and if so, how I can match the pressure readings up? Am I using the wrong variable, or is there some other issue? Some users are confused, and I am as well!

Have you looked at SensorHistory.getPressureHistory(). The newest sample? You can also look in Sensor.Info, but with a watch face you can only do that in a background service.

Good idea - I have not. I'll give that a try tonight and see if it gives results more in line with the widget!

Yep, looks like that pulls the expected data. Thanks!
