How do you determine data sent to CWOP?

I have noticed an anomaly in the data being sent to CWOP. Right now, live data shows pressure at 1018.4 hPa but what is being sent to CWOP is 1007.7 hPa. A difference of 11 hPa between live data and what is going to CWOP.

I have zero adjustment for pressure under the Weather Station tab.

Station is an Ambient Weather WS-1090, meteobridge is set to stick with 3.1 software and is running build 10776

Also, my console is showing 1013. 6 hPa and nearby NWS station is reporting 1012.9 hPa. Console absolute pressure (which can not be adjusted) shows 835.6 hPa and I am at an elevation of 5046 feet above MSL. That calculates to about 1006 hPa using altitude conversion only.

None of the numbers agree except raw absolute pressure converted to relative pressure and what is being sent to CWOP.

What does meteobridge use to send pressure to CWOP verses what Live Data shows?

Added in edit:

A bit more information and a question :

The WS-1090 allows me to change the relative pressure reading, I *presume* this is what metrobridge reads as "indoorseapressure" but if do.. what meteobridge shows in live data and reports to WU is NOT what my console shows.. The value in live data is pretty much a consistent 0.15 inHg higher.

Why would that be, the console value is correct according to the two nearest NWS reporting stations (5 and 15 miles away).

Is there a way to turn off the seapressure and have meteobridge calculate seapressure?
