The big problem with this approach is things like furniture being 
moved, large bags or boxes being left in a room, or even a big shadow 
or patch of sunlight.

Don't get me wrong, I too believe that this will be the eventual 
method for occupany detection, but it is a little more complicated 
than just detecting that the 'scene' has changed from 'baseline'.
