The Arduino UNO is an open-source

microcontroller board based on the Microchip 1.2.4 .BUZZER:
ATmega328P microcontroller. The board is A buzzer or beeper is an audio signaling device,
equipped with sets of digital and Analog which may be mechanical, electromechanical, or
input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical uses of
various expansion boards (shields) and other buzzers and beepers include alarm devices, timers,
circuits. The board has 14 Digital pins, 6 Analog train and confirmation of user input such as a

type B USB cable. It can be powered by a USB
cable or by
an external 9 Volt battery, though it accepts
voltages between 7 and 20 volts.
"Uno" means one in Italian and was chosen to
mark the release of Arduino
Software (IDE) 1.0. The Arduino Uno board and
version 1.0 of Arduino Software (IDE) were the
reference versions of Arduino, now evolved to
newer releases. The Uno also differs from all

1.2.2 PIEZO BUZZER: (TYPE 1)

Figure 3: Piezo buzzer (TYPE 1)

The Piezo buzzer is used to sense pressure,force
like parameters. It has applying an alternating
voltage to the piezoelectric ceramic material. The
introduction of such an input signal causes the
piezo ceramic to sense and display the output.
These are also called as active buzzers.

III. RESULT :
The project Piezo visitor sensing mat with
Arduino is successfully designed tested and a demo
unit is fabricated.
Since it is a prototype module the facility is provided
for only an individual consumer. Whereas for the real
applications, there may be so many consumers .The
complete project has been designed using Arduino
language. This project revealed that building a
relatively low cost, high security system which is
aimed to control through sensor. As mentioned
earlier, the project has been carried out several times
and the aim of this thesis is to familiarize the get
knowledge with fundamentals of Arduino and
Android to build anything possible.

3 . 3 APPLICATIONS :
1. The applications of the piezo sensing mat are:
2. Used in hospitals.
3. Used for motion detection.
4. Used in front of homes instead of door bells.
5. Used as an alarm system avoiding peeking.
6. Piezo technology is used in high-end technology
markets, such as medical technology(ultrasound
transducers receive the sound waves), mechanical
and automotive engineering or semiconductor
technology, but is also present in everyday life
(butane lighters, gas grills, gas stoves, blowtorches).

3 .4 ADVANTAGES :
1.With the Piezo sensor built-in, Mat is able to
actively monitor any time whether there's a change in
pressure from someone or something standing or
sitting on the Mat.
2.Whenever any Visitors arrive there is no need of
any doorbell doormat can automatically detect visitor
and notify on their behalf.
3.They are cost effective and convenient to install.
4. Easy to produce.
5. This will be very helpful for patients to alarm
when they stand on the mat.
3.5 DISADVANTAGES :
1. Although mat sensors are easy to produce and to
sell, a delayed problem remains as detection
accuracy.
2. Challenging task to distinguish the responses of
patients and medical personnel for signal pattern
recognition.
3. False detection occurs when any weighted
component is placed on the mat.
4. Time delay for halting of the tone will always be
an issue.
IV. CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
4.1 CONCLUSION :
The project Piezo visitor sensing mat with Arduino is
successfully designed tested and a demo unit is
fabricated.
Since it is a prototype module the facility is provided
for only an individual consumer. Whereas for the real
applications, there may be so many consumers The
complete project has been designed using Arduino
language. This project revealed that building a
relatively low cost, high security system which is

Android to build anything possible.
4 . 2 FUTURE SCOPE :
The world is becoming increasingly digitised and
automated by the day, with technology playing a
more significant role in our lives. Smart homes,
connected cars, and virtual assistants are just some
examples of innovations that are beginning to reshape
our world. This article explores the world of
piezoelectric wireless sensors, one of the latest
technological advances. Its widespread
implementation promises to change the way we use

specific devices today .This mat is a revolution for

the people who are in unmovable state and are
dependent on people .This mat will be accessed by
lot of people for numerous reasons and will be a
revolutional innovation.
