Abstract: The "Anti-Theft Floormat" project innovatively merges piezoelectric sensors with Arduino microcontrollers to transform ordinary floormats into intelligent security devices. By embedding sensors, it detects unauthorized access by converting footsteps into electrical signals. The Arduino acts as the central processor, monitoring sensor data and triggering an alarm when pressure exceeds a set threshold, alerting occupants in real-time. Power management is a focus, utilizing Arduino's sleep modes to balance responsiveness and energy efficiency, optimizing performance while conserving power during idle times. This project reimagines security systems, addressing vulnerabilities overlooked by conventional methods, offering a versatile and effective solution for homes and offices
