a sensor that is configured to generate sensor data that indicates an attribute of the property, wherein the sensor comprises one of a thermometer, a camera, a microphone, an appliance monitor, or a water flow meter, and the sensor data comprises one of temperature data, camera data, microphone data, appliance monitor data, or water flow meter data;
a floor sensor that is configured to generate floor sensor data that indicates an amount of pressure applied to a portion of a floor of the property; and
a monitor control unit that is configured to:
receive, from the sensor, the sensor data;
receive, from the floor sensor, the floor sensor data;
analyze the sensor data and the floor sensor data;
determine, based on analyzing the sensor data and the floor sensor data, an occupancy of a portion of the property;
determine that the occupancy of the portion of the property exceeds a threshold occupancy of the property; and
in response to determining that the occupancy of the portion of the property exceeds the threshold occupancy of the property, perform a monitoring system action.
