That’s how this one works. If I stop rubbing my hands the water stops. It detects motion, not proximity.
Comment on This automatic faucet that need the hands to be between the wall and the water to turn on.

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.

This one does that, it stays on only when I move my hands.

Which is exactly what I see all the time.

The sensors can be calibrated so only objects within a certain range set it off.
