The Development of Weight Detection System using IOT Flooring

Home safety plays a vital role in homeownership and it has since become the topmost priority for every homeowner alike. Most houses in Malaysia are currently using the Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) as their home security system, where there are no real time theft notifications being made. The current system uses sensors on walls or motion detectors that can be avoided by thief who could be wearing Infrared (IR) blocking clothes or hide behind objects. Issue of the power cut could also occur. Hence, this system is developed to detect the presence of thieves once they step on the sensor floor. The sensor floor implements load cell sensor which is placed beneath the tiles. Once the thief steps on it, a notification will be sent to the house owner and alarm the house. This system used Blynk application in order to give notifications to the owner and load cell sensor to measure the weight of a person. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) theory is applied into set of questionnaires that was distributed through Google Form and has obtained a total of 70 respondents.
