That would be a disappointing level of error, but it would be within the quoted accuracy of the WMR200 barometer. :(
In my manual at least the accuracy is stated as +/- 10mb hPa.

Probably a good idea to monitor the value for a while. If you are lucky the error will be reasonably constant, in which case you can set a suitable offset in WD.

Mine was reading + 5 hpa high when I got it a few weeks ago.

I adjusted to - 50m

The error is constant,so it is tracking changes since accurately

Don't forget to set the offset in WD as well.
