Haha, sensor faucets can definitely be finicky sometimes. I've had tenants mention similar issues—usually it's reflections or even steam setting them off. Ever tried adjusting the sensor's sensitivity settings? Sometimes that helps, but honestly, simpler faucets save a lot of hassle.
"honestly, simpler faucets save a lot of hassle."
True, simpler faucets are reliable, but sensor faucets can be great too—especially in kitchens when your hands are messy. Mine acted up at first, but after tweaking the sensitivity and repositioning slightly, it's been smooth sailing since.
Sensor faucets are handy, but from a safety standpoint, simpler faucets have fewer parts that can fail or leak. Had a client whose sensor faucet malfunctioned during a power outage... ended up flooding the counter. If you're going sensor, just make sure there's a manual override option.

Yikes, that's exactly the kind of scenario that makes me hesitant about sensor faucets. I've always wondered, though—do these sensor faucets typically have battery backups or something similar? Seems like a logical feature to include, but maybe it's not standard. And if there's a manual override, how easy is it to switch over during an emergency? I'd hate fumbling around under the sink in the dark...
Most sensor faucets I've seen do have battery backups, but honestly, they're not always reliable. Plus, the manual overrides can be tricky—especially if you're panicking in the dark. Makes me wonder if simpler tech might be safer overall...?
