III.WORKFLOW OF THE DEVICE

The workflow for this process can be
broken down into the following steps:
1. Connect the Piezoelectric Sensor to CC3200: To
begin, connect the piezoelectric sensor to the
CC3200. This can be achieved by connecting the
positive terminal of the sensor to a resistor in series
and then connecting the other end of the resistor to Fig. 1. Workflow of the Device
a positive voltage supply. Next, connect the
negative terminal of the sensor to ground. Finally,
connect the junction of the resistor and the
piezoelectric sensor to the input pin of the analog-
to-digital converter (ADC) on the CC3200.
2. Create Program to Read Sensor Data: After
attaching the piezoelectric sensor to the CC3200,

IX.CONCLUSION
We have developed an IOT-Based device to stop
theft in the house. This device detects the thief and sends
an alert to the user who holds the device with the app

X. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
In future, an application for the police control
room can be created and further the alert once sent to the
user at the same time the alert will also be sent to the
control room and the location of the home where the theft
is happening will also message will be sent to the nearby
police station so that the thief will get caught soon.
