        I think typically they only turn on when they actively detect something near the sensor. Once they no longer detect the object, they shut off.

          I don’t think so.

          If they only relied on the sensor it would constantly turn on and off which is something I have never seen on that kind of faucets. I think there is always a delay before shutting down but sometimes that delay is set so low that it feels like you need to constantly activate the sensor.

          That’s how this one works. If I stop rubbing my hands the water stops. It detects motion, not proximity.
