I think you might be better with small PIR sensors as you'd need less
processing power to achieve your result and you'd avoid the funny feel
of pads under the carpet and the frequent (in my experience) false
events these pads can generate.

Have you considered using X10 so your computer can control the lighting?

Cheers,
